list of salaries of 8 employees are listed below. What is the median salary?
$40,000, $29,000, $35,500, $31,700, $43,000, $30,000, $27,000, $32,700
Answer/Solution
$32,200
Steps/Work
Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:
$27,000, $29,000, $30,000, $31,700, $32,700, $35,500, $40,000, $43,000
Since there is an even number of items in the data set, we compute the median by taking the mean of the two middlemost numbers.
$31,700 + $32,700 = $64,400
The median salary is $32,200.
Answer : B
$27,000, $29,000, $30,000, $31,700, $32,700, $35,500, $40,000, $43,000
Since there is an even number of items in the data set, we compute the median by taking the mean of the two middlemost numbers.
$31,700 + $32,700 = $64,400
The median salary is $32,200.
