Last month 15 homes were sold in Town X. The average (arithmetic mean) sale price of the homes was $150,000 and the median sale price was $130,000. Which of the following statements must be true?
I. At least one of the homes was sold for more than $165,000.
II. At least one of the homes was sold for more than $130,000 and less than $150,000.
III. At least one of the homes was sold for less than $130,000. 答案是I,后两个为什么不对???
median 130位于第八套房,前七套小于或等于130,后七套大于或等于130,平均150。即使前八套房都取130,后七套房也可把前边每套和平均值差值20补回来,故(3)错;同理也可没有房大于130小于150,故(2)错; 关键是(3)考虑到前八套房最多每套售都130,故8*(150-130)=160,假设取最大值,后7套房都为165,7*(165-150)=105,不足以弥补前8套160的差值,故肯定有房大于165 -- by 会员 oceanliuhome (2012/1/16 5:05:44)
