if 35 is the median of the data set including 21, 7, 45, 33, 62 and x. then x is?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Since there are 6 data members, an even number, the median is\r\n" );
document.write( "the average of the 2 in the middle. Since when we put the 5 \r\n" );
document.write( "given data members in numerical order, \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "7, 21, 33, 45, 62\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " the average of 33 and 45 is  = 39 and not 35, so 45\r\n" );
document.write( "cannot be the next higher data value than 33, so x has to be the\r\n" );
document.write( "next data value higher than 33, so in order they are:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "7, 21, 33, x, 45, 62\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore the median is  which equals 35.\r\n" );
