the weekly salary for 10 people is given in the table find the following a the mean of the salary and the median of the salary the picture shows a square with a line down the middle splitting the two sides of weekly alary and number of people 5 people get $400 3 people get $500 and 2 people get $600 explain how to do it to a 4th grader
To find the mean of the salary, you need to add up all the salaries and divide that total by the number of people.
1. Add up all the salaries: (5 x $400) + (3 x $500) + (2 x $600) = $2000 + $1500 + $1200 = $4700.
2. Now divide the total by the number of people (10): $4700 / 10 = $470.
So, the mean salary is $470.
To find the median, you need to first arrange the salaries in order from least to greatest. Then, find the middle value.
1. Arrange the salaries in order: $400, $400, $400, $400, $400, $500, $500, $500, $600, $600.
2. Find the middle value: Since there are 10 total salaries, the middle value is the average of the 5th and 6th values, which are both $400.
So, the median salary is $400.
Explaining it to a 4th grader:
To find the mean, we add up all the salaries and then divide by the number of people. For this problem, we add up all the salaries and then divide by 10 to find the mean, which is $470.
To find the median, we first put the salaries in order and then find the middle value. In this case, the middle value is $400 since there are 5 people who get that amount. So, the median salary is $400.
make it short
To find the mean, add up all the salaries and divide by the number of people. In this case, the mean salary is $470.
To find the median, arrange the salaries in order and find the middle value. The median salary is $400.
2. Find the middle value: Since there are 10 total salaries, the middle value is the average of the 5th and 6th values, which are both $400. this is wrong fix it.
Apologies for the mistake. Here is the corrected explanation:
To find the median, arrange the salaries in order from least to greatest. Since there are 10 salaries, the median will be the middle number. In this case, the median salary is $500, as it falls in the middle when arranged in order.
fix the rest of it now
To find the mean, add up all the salaries and divide by the number of people. In this case, the mean salary is $470.
To find the median, arrange the salaries in order from least to greatest. Since there are 10 salaries, the median will be the middle number. In this case, the median salary is $500, which is the middle value when all salaries are arranged in order.
so 5th and 6th one should be 400 and 500 now what do i do?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the median again:
1. Arrange the salaries in order from least to greatest: $400, $400, $400, $400, $400, $500, $500, $500, $600, $600.
2. Since there are 10 salaries, the median will be the average of the two middle values, which are the 5th and 6th values: $400 and $400.
3. To find the average of $400 and $400, add them together and then divide by 2: ($400 + $400) / 2 = $800 / 2 = $400.
Therefore, the median salary is $400.
how are they both 400
