Question

The median for the given set of six ordered data values is 32.5.

5 12 27 ​_ 41 49
What is the missing​ value?

Answer 1

Answer: The missing number is 38.

Explanation:

The median is the middlemost number. If the median is not a whole number, that means that the median is the average of the two middlemost numbers. 27 and
`x` are the 2 middle most numbers. THat means that:

`(27+x)/(2)=32.5`

So,

`27+x=65`

And so,

`x=65-27\\`

`x=38`
