Bunuel ,
What if X is totally new value which is not present in a set. Dont you thinnkk it should have been stated in the question.
Because I have seen one such question where X was present in set as a Variable
Correct me if Im wrong
Hello,
yogi02, we cross paths again. The question is clear as is. If
x were a variable within the set, then I agree that the question would have to state as much or reveal
x as one of the members of the set, as in, {
x, 3, 0, 1, -1, 0, 5, 1}. With that said, we are told that
x is the mode of the set in Statement (1), so its value can be derived, based on the given information (except that it could be either 0 or 1, so it is NOT SUFFICIENT to answer the question); we are told that
x is the median of another given set in Statement (2), so its value can be derived, this time conclusively. Unless
x is stated as belonging to a given set or you see it within the brackets, you cannot assume that it appears within such a set. If you can come up with that question you referenced to show anyone who might read through these solutions exactly what you mean, that would be useful. I suspect that the unknown will also be clearly defined in either of the two ways I mentioned above.
