Solution

The following numbers are arranged in ascending order: 10, 17, x − 2, x + 1, x + 4, 27, 30. Their median is 21 ∴ The value of x is 20.

Numbers are arranged in ascending order

10, 17, x − 2, x + 1, x + 4, 27, 30

n = 7

The Median will be the 4th number = x + 1 = 21

x + 1 = 21

x = 21 − 1

x = 20
