Suppose you are representing the employees at a large corporation during contract negotiations. You have a list of the salaries of all the employees at the corporation (The salaries include the many lower level employees and the few high paid management employees) and plan to find a measure of center (e. g. mean, median, or mode). a. Which measure or center would you use to represent the average employee salary in an effort to support your claim that the average salary of lower level employees is much lower than the national average (for lower level employees) and thus should be increased?
1. median.2. mean.3. mode.
b. Why is this the better choice?

b

step-by-step explanation:

0 and 5 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

given that one morning eight buses arrive late by the number of minutes given below:

0 8 2 6 9 2 0 7 8

write these in ascending order

0   0 2 6 7 8 8 9

in the afternoon two more buses arrive at the bus stop say by x and y minutes late.

total number of buses = 10

median = average of 4th and 5th after arranging in ascending order

since 4th entry is 6, the values of x and y should be below 6

also given 0 is the mode so either x or y or both should be 0 because then only 0 gets the maximum frequency and hence mode

thus we have

0 0 0 2 6 7 8 8 9 and another unknown entry which is below 6.

since median is 3.5, we have the unknown entry to be 5 only because then only median =( 2+5)/2

thus the after noon buses were late by 0 and 5 minutes.
