Question

The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of
the data is 63. find the value of x.
29, 32, 48, 50,x,x+2, 72, 78, 84, 95​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

median = 63

the number of terms are even hence average of the two middle terms x and x+2 are taken

$\frac{x + x + 2}{2} = 63 \\ 2x + 2 = 63 \times 2 \\ 2x + 2 = 126 \\ 2x = 126 - 2 \\ 2x = 124 \\ x = \frac{124}{2} \\ x = 62$

the numbers are x = 62 and x + 2 = 62 + 2 = 64
