Answer:  mean monthly income = $5000

====================================================

Explanation

In any normal distribution, the median and mean are the same value.

-------------

The proof is as follows:

If mean > median was the case, then the distribution would be skewed to the right (ie positively skewed). The right tail is pulled longer than the left tail. But this would contradict the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean > median must not be the case.

If mean < median, then the distribution would be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). Visually this pulls the left tail longer than the right tail. Like in the previous paragraph, this contradicts the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean < median must not be the case.

Since mean > median cannot be true, and neither can mean < median, this must indicate mean = median.

-------------

So in short, any symmetrical distribution always has mean = median and they are at the very center of the distribution.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Total amount of dividends paid over the last three years is $20500

Explanation:

The net income of the company is either retained in the company or paid out as dividends. To calculate the value of the ending retained earnings, we use the following formula,

Ending balance = Beginning balance + Net Income - Dividends

We first need to calculate the total net income for the 3 year period. The total net income for the 3 year period is, 3 * 6500 = $19500

Plugging in the available values for the ending and beginning balance of retained earnings and net income, we can calculate the value of total dividends paid for the three year period.

15000 = 16000 + 19500 - Dividends

Dividends = 35500 - 15000

Dividends = $20500
