Question

The median of the given data with the observations in ascending order is 27.5. Find the

value of x.

24, 25 , 26, x+2, x+3, 30, 33, 37​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

median = average of the two middle terms = 27.5

$\frac{(x + 2) + (x + 3)}{2} = 27.5 \\ x + 2 + x + 3 = 27.5 \times 2 \\ 2x + 5 = 55 \\ 2x = 55 - 5 \\ 2x = 50 \\ x = \frac{50}{2} \\ x = 25$
