Q. 3.11

Salaries of Personnel

A small company consists of the owner, the manager, the salesperson, and two technicians, all of whose annual salaries are listed here. (Assume that this is the entire population.)

Find the mean, median, and mode.

Staff Salary
Owner $100,000
Manager 40,000
Salesperson 24,000
Technician 18,000
Technician 18,000

Step-by-Step

Verified Solution

\mu = \frac{ΣX}{N} =\frac{\$100,000 + 40,000 + 24,000 + 18,000 + 18,000}{5} = \frac{\$200,000}{5} = \$40,000

Hence, the mean is $40,000, the median is $24,000, and the mode is $18,000.
