這是1997年AP Statistics測驗裡的一個問題: A random sample of size 10 was taken from a population. The sample has a variance of zero. Which of the following statements must be true? 1.The population also has a variance of zero. 2.The sample mean is equal to the sample median. 3.The ten data points in the sample are equal in numerical value. (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) 3 only (d) 1 and 2 (e) 2 and 3 答案是:(c) 但是不理解,為何答案不是(e)? ∵The sample has a variance of zero. ∴The ten data points in the sample are equal in numerical value. 那麼不是同時也可得出,The sample mean is equal to the sample median. 請問為何上面這句不正確? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 121.254.98.20 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Statistics/M.1429676378.A.00F.html
allen1985: 答案錯了? 04/22 12:50
expiate: 你查一下median在偶數時該怎麼算應該就會理解了 04/22 13:09
expiate: 我好像理解錯了,請忽略我上面的推文,抱歉 04/22 13:13
ww770829: 他應該是認為不存在中位數? 04/22 13:30
celestialgod: 我也覺得他應該認為沒有中位數,全部一樣 04/22 13:34
allen1985: Median always exists? 04/22 15:18
BugEater: 我選e 04/22 16:04
celestialgod: http://tinyurl.com/kar6fww 中位數always exists, 04/22 17:04
celestialgod: 所以是E 04/22 17:04
goshfju: 原po是對的 04/23 00:11
goshfju: 1. 顯然是錯的 隨便找都有反例 04/23 00:13
goshfju: 樣本變異數0就代表樣本10個數字都ㄧ樣(3對)而樣本平均 04/23 00:15
goshfju: 數跟樣本中位數也是那個數字(2對) 04/23 00:15
chliao2006: 多謝大家的回答,幫助考量到關於存在的問題。 04/23 02:18
