For a certain distribution, mode and median were found to be 1000 and 1250 respectively. Find mean for this distribution using an empirical relation.

Find the mean.
The median of 19 observations is 30. Two more observation are made and the values of these are 8 and 32. Find the median of the 21 observations taken together.
Hint Since 8 is less than 30 and 32 is more than 30, so the value of median (middle value) remains unchanged.
If the median of `x/5,x/4,x/2,x and x/3`, where x > 0, is 8, find the value of x.
Hint Arranging the observations in ascending order, we have `x/5,x/4,x/3,x/2,x Median= x/3=8.`
