Answer:

Option A) 15.5 is correct

The new median for the new data set is 15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data set is 8,21,17,13

To find the median :

First order the given set of data into least to greatest

The ordered set is 8,13,17,21

Since the given set of data is even

We can take midvalues of data in the set

Median is the mean of two middle values in the data set

Median=\frac{13+17}{2}

=\frac{30}{2}

=15

Therefore Median=15 ( given )

Given that if 17 is changed to 18 then the given set of data  8,21,17,13 is changed into new set  8,21,18,13

To find the median :

First order the new set of data into least to greatest

The ordered set is 8,13,18,21

Since the given set of data is even

We can take two midvalues of new data in the set

Median is the mean of two middle values in the data set

Median=\frac{13+18}{2}

=\frac{31}{2}

=15.5

Therefore New Median=15.5

Therefore option A) 15.5 is correct

The new median for the new data set is 15.5

Tim just took a job working for a software company. His contract states he will receive an annual salary of $61,500 and be paid
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

$3,722.875

Step-by-step explanation:

It was stated that the $61,500 would be payed to Tim annually, therefore before we can calculate the deductions we would first have to divide the annual pay by 12 (months in a year). You would then find that Tim receives $5,125 each month. The total value of the deductions would be 21.7% ( 6.2 + 1.5 + 3 + 11 = 21.7). 21.7% of 5,125 is 1,112.125 therefore, we would subtract this value and the value for the insurance from his monthly pay to find his net paycheck per month [5,125 - (1,112.125 + 290) = $3,722.875]
