Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Set of data => 7, 15, x–1, x+1, 24, 28

Median = 21

x =?

Median is simply defined as the middle term of a given data arranged either in ascending or descending order.

Next, we shall determine the median of the set of data. This can be obtained as follow:

7, 15, x–1, x+1, 24, 28

Median = [(x–1) + (x+1)]/ 2

Finally, we shall determine the value of x as follow:

Median = [(x-1) + (x+1)]/ 2

Median = 21

21 = [(x-1) + (x+1)]/ 2

21 = [x – 1 + x + 1] /2

21 = [x + x – 1 + 1] /2

21 = 2x / 2

21 = x

Thus, x is 21

****Check****

Median = 21

x = 21

Median = [(x–1) + (x+1)] / 2

21 = [(21 – 1) + (21 + 1)] / 2

21 = [20 + 22] / 2

21 = 42/2

21 = 21

If i have a forest composed of 25 species of trees, each with a known abundances, how many events are there in the sample space
Vsevolod [243]
There are 25 species of trees, each with a known abundances. The question is how many possible ways to randomly select one tree there are.
We should calculate the number of combinations. Combinations, because we select item/s from a collection. In this case, when we select only one item, the combination is also a permutation. From set of n objects we select r. In our case: n=25, r=1. 
The equation is: n!/r!(n-r)!= 25!/1!*24!=25*24!/24!=25
There are 25 different outcomes (events).
