The correct Answer is:
To find the median of the given data when \( x = 4 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Substitute the value of \( x \) We have the expressions: 1. \( x - 4 \) 2. \( 2x - 6 \) 3. \( 3x - 10 \) 4. \( \frac{x}{2} - 1 \) 5. \( \frac{3x}{2x - 4} \) 6. \( x + 3 \) 7. \( \frac{x}{2} \) 8. \( 2x + 7 \) 9. \( 3x - 2 \) 10. \( 2x - 5 \) Substituting \( x = 4 \): 1. \( 4 - 4 = 0 \) 2. \( 2(4) - 6 = 8 - 6 = 2 \) 3. \( 3(4) - 10 = 12 - 10 = 2 \) 4. \( \frac{4}{2} - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1 \) 5. \( \frac{3(4)}{2(4) - 4} = \frac{12}{8 - 4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3 \) 6. \( 4 + 3 = 7 \) 7. \( \frac{4}{2} = 2 \) 8. \( 2(4) + 7 = 8 + 7 = 15 \) 9. \( 3(4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 \) 10. \( 2(4) - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3 \) ### Step 2: Write the data set From the above calculations, we have the following data set: \[ 0, 2, 2, 1, 3, 7, 2, 15, 10, 3 \] ### Step 3: Arrange the data in ascending order Arranging the data in ascending order: \[ 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 7, 10, 15 \] ### Step 4: Find the number of data points Count the number of data points: There are \( n = 10 \) data points. ### Step 5: Calculate the median Since \( n \) is even, the median is given by the average of the \( \frac{n}{2} \)th term and the \( \left(\frac{n}{2} + 1\right) \)th term. Calculating: - \( \frac{n}{2} = 5 \) - \( \frac{n}{2} + 1 = 6 \) The 5th term is \( 2 \) and the 6th term is \( 3 \). Now, calculate the median: \[ \text{Median} = \frac{\text{5th term} + \text{6th term}}{2} = \frac{2 + 3}{2} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \] ### Final Answer The median of the data is \( 2.5 \). ---
