Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let the $11$ distinct positive integers be arranged in increasing order: $x_1 The median of these $11$ integers is $x_6$.The other $10$ integers are $x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, x_6, x_7, x_8, x_9, x_{10}$.The median of these $10$ integers is $m = \frac{x_5 + x_6}{2}$.Since $x_5 Replacing the largest integer $x_{11}$ with $m$,the new set of $11$ integers in increasing order is $x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, m, x_6, x_7, x_8, x_9, x_{10}$.The new median is the $6^{th}$ term,which is $m$.Since $m < x_6$,the median decreases.

Class	$0 - 10$	$10 - 20$	$20 - 30$	$30 - 40$	$40 - 50$
$f_i$	$8$	$30$	$40$	$12$	$10$

Let $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{11}$ be $11$ distinct positive integers. If we replace the largest of these integers by the median of the other $10$ integers,then:
