I have found the median for the numbers 52 77 77 80 82 85 88 93 and 95 the median is 82 but what if a new number is added, how an I change the median to 83, what was the new number added to the list, please help me
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "You have 9 data points.
\n" ); document.write( "The 5th point is 82 so it is the median.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Put \"x\" between 82 and 85.
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have 10 points and the median is the average of 82 and x
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(82+x)/2 = 83
\n" ); document.write( "82 + x = 166
\n" ); document.write( "x = 84
