Each of the 45 boxes on shelf J weighs less than each of the 44 boxes on shelf K.What is the median weight of the 89 boxes on these shelves? (1)The heaviest box on shelf J weighs 15 pounds. (2)The lightest box on shelf K weighs 20 pounds. 答案是A 晕得很,我统计就是不行。 多谢大牛啊
The median of a finite list of numbers can be found by arranging all the observations from lowest value to highest value and picking the middle one. 此题中,从轻到重排列的盒子中,中间的一个即median. 由题意可知,J中所有的盒子都比K中的任何一个轻,于是排在前面45位,后面44位都是K盒子,一共是89个盒子,前面44个(∈J),中间1个median(∈J),后面44个(∈K); 1)因为所有盒子都是按重量从轻到重排列的,所以第45个J盒子,也就是中间的一个(median),是J盒子中最重的一个。sufficient; 2)median是第45个J盒子,与K盒子无关;insufficient。
