$\color{red}{x=57}$

Work Step by Step

$$\text{Solution}$$ Given Information: Data Set ⟹ $(30, 45, \color{red}x, 100) $ Total Number of Items in Data Set $n= 4$ Median =$51 $ To Find: Value of $\color{red}x$ Median for even Numbers $ =\frac {(\frac{n}{2})^{th}+ (\frac{n}{2})^{th}+1}{2}term$ Median for even Numbers $ =\frac {(\frac{4}{2})^{th}+ (\frac{4}{2})^{th}+1}{2}term$ Median$=\frac {(2)^{nd}+ (3)^{rd}}{2}term$ Median = $51$ $2^{nd}$ term =$45$ $3^{rd}$ term $=\color{red}x$ $51 = \frac {45+\color{red}x}{2} $ $45+\color{red}x=51\times2$ $\color{red}x=102-45$ $\color{red}x=57$
