Answer:Since the median of the data is 63, it means that 50% of the data lies below 63 and 50% lies above 63. There are 21 observations in total, so the 11th observation would be the median.
As the data is arranged in ascending order, the 11th observation is 62. Therefore, x is greater than 62.
Step-by-step explanation:
Verified answer
29+32+48+50+x+x+2+72+78+84+95/11=63
29+32+48+50+x+x+2+72+78+84+95=63*11
29+32+48+50+x+x+2+72+78+84+95=693
2x+499=693
2x=693-499
2x=194
x=194/2
x=97
