Question

Ten observations 6, 14,15, 17, x + 1, 2x – 13, 30, 32, 34 and 43 are written in an ascending order. The median of the data is 24. Find the value of x.

Answer 1

Given observations are 6,14,15,17, x + 1,2x -13, 30, 32, 34, 43 

Here, total number of given observations, n = 10 (even)

Since, n is even, so we use the formula for median,
