The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If median
of the data is 23.5, find the value of x.
12, 16, 17, x, x + 3, 27, 38, 40

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

=12,16,17,x,x+3,27,38,40

X+x+3/2 = 23.5
2x+3 = 23.5 x 2
2x +3 = 47
2x =47-3
2x=44
x=44/2
x=22

X = 22
X+3 = 22+3
= 25

Hope it helps you!
