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.`
