An integer x is selected at random from the set {17, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 33}.


Quantity A

The probability that the average (arithmetic mean) of 8, 16, and x is at least 17

Quantity B

选项

A.

The quantity in Column A is greater.


B.

The quantity in Column B is greater.


C.

The two quantities are equal.


D.

The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.


解析

我们先算出能使平均数**恰好为17**的x值: 由此可列出方程: (8+16+x)/3 = 17 两边同乘以3: 8+16+x = 51 化简求解: 24+x = 51 x = 27 所以,x=27 时平均数为17。 接下来计算“平均数至少为17”的概率: P(平均数 ≥ 17) = P(选取的值 ≥ 27) 在集合 {17, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 33} 中,大于或等于27的值共有3个。 因此: P(平均数至少为17) = 3/7 我们得到: A项 = 3/7 B项 = 1/2 1/2 > 3/7,所以答案是 B。
