Question

The followinv observation are angle in Ascending order the median of the data is 25 find the volue of x(17,x,24,x+7,35, 36,

Answer 1

Hi there!

We know that median is the middle value, when the data is arranged in ascending order.

Since the number of terms are even, we'll take the average of the two middle values i.e. 24 and x + 7.

We already know that the median is 25. Therefore,

24 + ( x + 7 )/2 = 25

31 + x = 50

x = 19

We can verify whether the value of x is correct by putting the values wherever required and making sure that the terms are in ascending order,

After putting the values,

17, 19, 24, 26, 35, 36.

Also, 24 + 26 / 2 = 50

Hence, verified.
