SOLUTION: If half the range of the increasing sequence {11, A, 23, B, C, 68, 73] is equal to its median, what is the median of the sequence?

Question 917644: If half the range of the increasing sequence {11, A, 23, B, C, 68, 73] is equal to its median, what is the median of the sequence?

Range = max - min

Range = 73 - 11

Range = 62

The median is the middlemost number. Since B is the middlemost number, this means B = 31 and the median is 31 (we're told that " half the range of the increasing sequence is equal to its median").
