To find the median of the list 2, 4, 6, 8, x, 3, 5, 7, 9, where x is an integer between 1 and 10, consider how different values of x affect the sorted order of the numbers:
For x values less than or equal to 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), the median is 5.
For x values from 6 to 10 (6, 7, 8, 9, 10), the median is 6.
Thus, the possible median values are 5 and 6.
From the options provided:
A. 4 → Not possible
B. 5 → Possible
C. 6 → Possible
D. 5.5 → Not possible
The answers are B. 5 and C. 6.
For x values less than or equal to 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), the median is 5.
For x values from 6 to 10 (6, 7, 8, 9, 10), the median is 6.
Thus, the possible median values are 5 and 6.
From the options provided:
A. 4 → Not possible
B. 5 → Possible
C. 6 → Possible
D. 5.5 → Not possible
The answers are B. 5 and C. 6.
