What is the median of these numbers (x, 3, 4x-3, x+4, -16, 9, and x-4) when the mean is 4????

Question

HELP.....ANSWER THIS QUESTION PLEASE!!!!

Answer 1

First we compute for x using the mean value of the given array, that is:
4 = [ x + 3 + (4x-3) + (x+4) + (-16) + 9 + (x-4) ] / 7
28 = 7x - 7
28 + 7 = 7x
35 = 7x
x = 5.

Plugging the value of x to the original array, the observations now become
(5, 3, 17, 9, -16, 9, 1)

Since median is the middle value of the arranged observations or values in the given array, that is, it is the value that divides the given array into two equal parts. Thus, we then sort the given array in ascending order, that is:
(-16, 1, 3, 5, 9, 9, 17)

Because we have n = 7 observations (which is an odd number), the median is computed as the (n + 1)/2 th observation in the ordered array. If we use the ordered array, the median is the 4th observation, that is
median = 5.

NOTE: In number theory, a number n is said to be an odd number if it is not divisible by 2. That is, there exists an integer, say k, such that n = 2k - 1.

Answer 2

Firstly, you have to find the value of x:
(x+3+4x-3+x+4+(-16)+9+x-4)/7 = 4
(7x+(-7))/7 = 4
7x-7 = 28
7x = 28+7
7x = 35
x = 5
There are altogether 7 numbers. To find median, take (7+1)/2 = 4. Thus, the median is in the 4th position. Before u find the median, you must arrange the values in ascending order.
x = 5, 3 = 3, 4x-3 = 17, x+4 = 9, -16 = -16, 9 = 9, x-4 = 1
Ascending order: -16, 1, 3, 5, 9, 9, 17
Since the median is in the 4th position and number 5 is in the 4th position, the median is 5.

Answer 3

If the advise of x,3,4x-3, x+4, -sixteen, 9 and x-4 is 4, which ability all of those numbers further mutually, divided by ability of what number numbers there are, is 4.. So... (x+3+(4x-3)+(x+4)+(-sixteen)+9+(x-4))/7=4 Then, only assemble like words and do the algebra... (x+3+4x-3+x+4-sixteen+9+x-4)/7=4 (7x-7)/7=4 7x-7=28 7x=35 x=5 The advise of (5, 3, 17, 9, -sixteen, 9, a million) is 4 The median of (-sixteen, a million, 3, 5, 9, 9, 17) is 5

Answer 4

Add the terms together and divide by 7 to set it equal to the mean. Solve for x, then solve for each term and find the median (the middle number).

(x + 3 + 4x-3 + x+4 -16 +9 + x-4)/7 = 4

7x -7 = 28

x = 5

So the numbers, in order, are:

-16, 1, 3, 5, 9, 9, 17

The median is 5.

Answer 5

there are 7 numbers
[(x) + (3) + (4x - 3) + (x + 4) + (-16) + (9) + (x - 4)] / 7 = 4
(x) + (3) + (4x - 3) + (x + 4) + (-16) + (9) + (x - 4) = 28
combine like terms
7x - 7 = 28
7x = 35
x = 5
the numbers are:
{5, 3, 17, 9, -16, 9, 1}
arrange them in order from least to greatest
{-16, 1, 3, 5, 9, 9, 17}
take the number in the middle of the set. That number is your median

Answer 7

1st find thesolve for x given the mean is 4
(x+ 3 + 4x-3 + x+4 + -16 +9 + x-4)/7=4

(7x-7)/7=4
7x-7=28
7x=35
x=5

now let x =5 to get {5,3,17,9,-16,9,1} = {-16,1,3,5,9,9,17}
median is middle score which appears to be 5

Answer 8

Set up the equation so that you add up all those terms, divide by 7, and make that equal to 4. Solve for x, substitute it in for all those values with x. Then arrange those 7 terms from smallest to largest. The answer is the one in the middle.
