When the given data is arranged in ascending (or descending) order, then the middle most observation is the median of the data. Mean, median and mode are the representative values of a group of observations. They are also called the measures of central tendency of the data.
The largest observation = 111
Given:
There are n observations and the mid range of data = 75
Smallest observation of the data = 39
To find:
The largest observation
Solution:
Let the largest observation = x
The formula for Midrange of a data is given by
Midrange of data = (Maximum Value + Minimum Value) / 2
From given data, Smallest/ minimum value = 39
Midrange of data = 75
Now substitute above values in the formula
⇒ 75 = ( 39 + x) / 2
⇒ 150 = 39 + x
⇒ x = 150 - 39
⇒ x = 111
Therefore, the largest observation = 111
