Question

The median for the given set of six ordered data values is 29.5
9 12 25 __ 41 48 What is the missing​ value?

Answer 1

Answer:  34

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle term in the set.  If there are an even number of terms in the set, then the median is the average of the two middle terms.

• {9, 12, 25, ?, 41, 48}

• {X, 12, 25, ?, 41, X}

• {X, X, 25, ?, X, X}

The median is the average of 25 and ?, which is 29.5

$\dfrac{25+?}{2}=29.5\\\\25+?=59\quad \text{multiplied both sides by 2}\\.\quad ?=34\quad \text{subtracted 25 from both sides}$
