Question

The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of the data is 6 ,find the value of x

3, 4, 5, x, 8,9​

Answer 1

Answer:

X = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3, 4, 5, x, 8,9​

Median :

    The middle most observation of an ordered data is called as median.

  Here there are two observations in middle. So we should take average of those two observations.

Given that median is 6

So,

[5+x]/2 = 6

5+x = 6 x 2 = 12

x = 12-5 = 7
