(2002•佛山)一組數(shù)據(jù):3,6,4,8,12,10的中位數(shù)是 .
【答案】
分析:找中位數(shù)要把數(shù)據(jù)按從小到大的順序排列,位于最中間的一個數(shù)或兩個數(shù)的平均數(shù)為中位數(shù),由此即可確定中位數(shù).
解答:解:把已知數(shù)據(jù)重新排序后為3,4,6,8,10,12,
∴這組數(shù)據(jù)的中位數(shù)為
(6+8)=7.
故填7.
點評:一組數(shù)據(jù)的中位數(shù)與這組數(shù)據(jù)的排序及數(shù)據(jù)個數(shù)有關(guān),因此求一組數(shù)據(jù)的中位數(shù)時,先將該組數(shù)據(jù)按從小到大(或按從大到。┑捻樞蚺帕,然后根據(jù)數(shù)據(jù)的個數(shù)確定中位數(shù):當數(shù)據(jù)個數(shù)為奇數(shù)時,則中間的一個數(shù)即為這組數(shù)據(jù)的中位數(shù);當數(shù)據(jù)個數(shù)為偶數(shù)時,則最中間的兩個數(shù)的算術(shù)平均數(shù)即為這組數(shù)據(jù)的中位數(shù).
