Answer 2

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

Data : 12,16,17,19,x,x+3,27,37,38,40

Median = The mid value

So, mid values are x and x+3

So, median = Average of mid values

                   =(x+x+3)/2

                  =(2x+3)/2  

Since we are given that the median is 23.5

So, (2x+3)/2  =23.5

2x+3=47

2x=44

x=22

Thus the value of x is 22.
