这部分需要会什么?
- 计算均值、中位数与加权均值
- 根据均值反求总和或缺失数据
- 判断新增数据和极端值对集中趋势的影响
核心概念与公式
均值 \(\bar x=(x_1+\cdots+x_n)/n\),因此总和等于均值乘个数。中位数须先按大小排序;奇数个数据取中间一个,偶数个取中间两个的平均值。
合并两组数据时,整体均值为 \((n_1\bar x_1+n_2\bar x_2)/(n_1+n_2)\)。只有两组人数相同,才能直接平均两组均值。均值会被极端数值明显影响,中位数通常更稳定。
做题时怎样使用
- 先确认数据个数、频数和是否已经排序
- 求均值用总和;求中位数看位置;合并组别先还原各组总和
- 若数据改动,分别分析总和和排序位置如何变化
容易混淆的地方
频数表中的一个数可能出现多次,不能把每种数值只算一次。中位数的位置变化不等于数据总和变化。
用一个例题串起方法
知识点教学例题4 个数的均值为 12,加入第五个数后均值为 14。第五个数是多少?
展开解题思路 +
原总和为 \(4\times12=48\),新总和为 \(5\times14=70\)。加入的数为 \(70-48=22\)。
