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:


\text{midrange}=\frac{\text{Max. value + Min. value}}{2}\text{.}

Replacing the values of the data set above, we get:


\text{midrange}=(42+8)/(2)=(50)/(2)=25.
