If 10, 13, 15, 18, x + 1, x + 3, 30, 32, 35, 41 are ten observations in an ascending order with median 24, find the value of x.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

By arranging the data in ascending order,

10, 13, 15, x + 1, x + 3, 30, 32, 35, 41

We have;

N = 10 (even number)

Median = 24 (given)

Median =

24

48 = 2x + 4

2x = 44

x = 22

Hence the value of x = 22
