想请问一题在 最新GRE数学预测模拟试题(一)的题目
25. the company at which Mark is employed has 80 employees each of whom has a
different salary. Mark's salary of $43,700 is the second-highest salary in the
first quartile of the 80 salaries. If the company were to hire 8 new employees
at salaries that are less than the lowest of the 80 salaries, what would
Mark's salary be with respect to the quartiles of the 88 salaries at the
company, assuming no other changes in the salaries?
A The 4th-highest salary in the first quartile
B The highest salary in the 1st quartile
C The 2nd-lowest salary in the 2nd quartile
D The 3rd-lowest salary in the 2nd quartile
E The 5th-lowest salary in the 2nd quartile
答案是E
如果插入的薪水是最低的八笔
不是应该不会影响到前面的四分位数吗?
可是这样看来就发现根本没答案可选
好奇怪阿
请大家帮我解惑
谢谢大家!!
