Question

While deciding whether to get a job or to continue your education, you consider two small, local companies that are hiring: KwikFix and MongoRama. You learn that both employers consider you to be on par with their average worker. You do some research on the hourly wage each company pays. You find that MongoRama pays nine employees $9.00 per hour each, while one employee makes $30.00 per hour. KwikFix pays two employees $9.00 per hour, five employees $10.50 per hour, two employees $12.00 per hour, and one employee $16.50 per hour.
1) Calculate the mean and the median for the salaries of the two companies, each of which has 10

Answer 1

Answer:

KwikFix

median: 9.00 mean: 11.1

MongoRama

median: 10.50 mean: 11.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is found by ordering the numbers least to greatest and the number in the middle is the median, which is how you find the median for the each company. For the mean you add up all of the workers wages and then divide it by the number of workers.

Answer 2

The first company, Kwikfix, the mean is 9 and the median is 11.1. The second company, MongoRama, the mean is 10.5 and the median is 11.1.
