Question

Below is a data set containing six observations in ascending order

33 44 51 62 71 X



Find the value of missing data value X, if the range of data is 58

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of the data is the highest value - the lowest value.

The lowest in the list is 33 so the highest must be 33 + 58

= 91.

Answer 2

Answer: 91

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The observations are in ascending order, which means the set is sorted from smallest to largest.

The X is at the right-most endpoint, so X is the largest value (aka the max).

The min is 33, so,

max - min = range

X - 33 = 58

X = 58+33

X = 91 is the max
