Question

Median of the data 24, 25, 26, x+2, x+4, 30 and 34
is 28. Find the value of x-​

Answer 1

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is already arranged in ascending order

The number of terms are = 7

so, the median term will be $\frac{n+1}{2}$ where n = number of terms

substituting the value of n, the median term is

$\frac{7+1}{2}= \frac{8}{2}=4th$

The 4th term in the sequence is x+2

thus, equating,

$x+2=28\\x=26$
