Question

The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of these observations is 58, find the value of x.
(24,27,43,48,x-1,x+3,68,73,80,90).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The series is: 24,27,43,48,x−1,x+3,68,73,80,90

Since, the series has 10 observations, the median will be the mean of 5

th

and 6

th

observation,

Median =

2

x−1+x+3

Median =x+1

58=x+1

x=57
