IR 24A 问题:For the 22 earthquakes, the arithmetic mean of the depths is greater than the median of the depths?
分别求出arithmetic mean 和median 然后比大小就OK. 求arithmetic mean的常规方法即22个数字之和除以22,但由于数字较大,算起来麻烦。
答案解释中给出了shortcut,但我没理解,高亮部分什么意思?求教大家~~
答案的方法为:The arithmetic mean of the depths is 1/22 times the sum of all 22 depths; therefore, it must be greater than1/22 times the greatest depth listed. But this last value- that is 1/22 (641)km is already greater than the median depth, so the arithmetic mean must be greater than the median of the depths.
