一共有 47 47 47 个数据,中位数位置是第 47 + 1 2 = 24 \dfrac{47+1}{2}=24 2 47 + 1 = 24 个。累计到 stem 3 3 3 有 15 15 15 个,stem 4 4 4 有 11 11 11 个,所以第 24 24 24 个在 stem 4 4 4 这一行,是 0.48 0.48 0.48 。

下四分位数位置是第 12 12 12 个,所以 Q 1 = 0.35 Q_1=0.35 Q 1 = 0.35 。题目给 I Q R = 0.31 IQR=0.31 I QR = 0.31 ,所以
Q 3 = 0.35 + 0.31 = 0.66. \begin{align*}
Q_3=0.35+0.31=0.66.
\end{align*} Q 3 = 0.35 + 0.31 = 0.66.
上四分位数位置是第 36 36 36 个。结合 stem-and-leaf,这个值是 0.6 a 0.6a 0.6 a ,所以 a = 6 a=6 a = 6 。

The lower quartile is the 12 12 12 th observation, so
Q 1 = 0.35. \begin{align*}
Q_1=0.35.
\end{align*} Q 1 = 0.35.
Since the interquartile range is 0.31 0.31 0.31 ,
Q 3 − Q 1 = 0.31 Q 3 − 0.35 = 0.31 Q 3 = 0.66. \begin{align*}
Q_3-Q_1=&\,0.31\\[3mm]
Q_3-0.35=&\,0.31\\[3mm]
Q_3=&\,0.66.
\end{align*} Q 3 − Q 1 = Q 3 − 0.35 = Q 3 = 0.31 0.31 0.66.
The upper quartile is the 36 36 36 th observation. From the stem-and-leaf diagram, this is 0.6 a 0.6a 0.6 a .
Therefore
0.6 a = 0.66 , \begin{align*}
0.6a=0.66,
\end{align*} 0.6 a = 0.66 ,
so
a = 6. \begin{align*}
a=6.
\end{align*} a = 6.

用标准差公式
s = ∑ x 2 n − ( ∑ x n ) 2 . \begin{align*}
s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum x^2}{n}-\left(\frac{\sum x}{n}\right)^2}.
\end{align*} s = n ∑ x 2 − ( n ∑ x ) 2 .
这里 n = 47 n=47 n = 47 。

s = ∑ x 2 n − ( ∑ x n ) 2 = 13.4228 47 − ( 23.72 47 ) 2 = 0.285591 … − 0.254636 … = 0.030955 … = 0.1759 … . \begin{align*}

Therefore
s = 0.176 \begin{align*}
s=0.176

全部 65 65 65 个数据的平均数是 0.502 0.502 0.502 ,所以全部数据总和是 65 × 0.502 65\times0.502 65 × 0.502 。减去原来 47 47 47 个 x x x 的总和,就得到新增 18 18 18 个 y y y 的总和。

Using ∑ x = 23.72 \sum x=23.72 ∑ x = 23.72 ,
∑ y = 65 ( 0.502 ) − 23.72 = 32.63 − 23.72 = 8.91. \begin{align*}
\sum y

对全部 65 65 65 个数据使用
s 2 = ∑ x 2 + ∑ y 2 65 − x ˉ 2 . \begin{align*}
s^2=\frac{\sum x^2+\sum y^2}{65}-\bar{x}^2.
\end{align*} s 2 = 65 ∑ x 2 + ∑ y 2 − x ˉ 2 .
