Answer #1

There are three samples as per question, If we arrange chronologically the samples will be

-8, -6, 11

Now looking at the present data, the range (Diff between highest & lowest sample) is (11-(-9)) = 19. Median is -6 (the middle figure), however as per question we need to add one sample, median & range will not change.

The range is fixed which is 19.

The figure must be between -6 & 11.

Considering the new figure as "X". Hence (-6 + X)/2 = -6, Hence solving the equation, X = -6.

Hence the Ans : New sample will be -6.

The sequence of sample is -8, -6, -6, 11.

Ans : -6
