Question

The median for the given set of six ordered values is 28.5

7 12 25 _ 41 50
What is the missing value?

Answer 1

x=the missing value

the median is the middle number, but in this case there are two which happens to be 25 and x
so the formula is

25+x/2=31.5
use algebra to solve
25+x=63
x=63-25
x= 38

Therefore, the missing value is 38.

Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any further questions:)
