We have the following data set: 8, 15, x, 23, 42.
The midrange is the mean of the lowest and highest numbers to appear in a range of values. To determine the midrange value in a given data set, simply add the smallest and greatest values together and divide the result by two.
The formula for determining the midrange is:
[tex]\text{midrange}=\frac{\text{Max. value + Min. value}}{2}\text{.}[/tex]
Replacing the values of the data set above, we get:
[tex]\text{midrange}=\frac{42+8}{2}=\frac{50}{2}=25.[/tex]
