Question

the following observations have been arranged in assending 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

Hello,
it can be observed that the total number of observations in the given data is 10 (even number).
Therefore, the median of this data will be the mean of 10/2 th i.e., 5th  and 10/2+1th i.e., 6th  observation.:
median =x+x+2/2;
63=2x+2/2;
63=x+1;
x=63-1;
x=62

bye :-)

Answer 2

According to given sum,

Median=(x+x+2)/2

63=(2x+2)/2

63=2 *(x+1)/2

63=x+1

x=63-1=62

Hence the value of x is 62.
