24200
To find the mean commission, you need to find the sum of all the commissions and divide it by the total number of salespeople.
Step 1: Add up all the commissions.
$13,000 + $22,000 + $47,000 + $15,000 + $24,000 = $121,000
Step 2: Determine the total number of salespeople.
There are 5 salespeople.
Step 3: Divide the sum of the commissions by the total number of salespeople.
$121,000 ÷ 5 = $24,200
Therefore, the mean commission earned by the salespeople at Southwest Appliances last year is $24,200.
To find the mean commission, you need to add up all the commissions earned by the five sales people and then divide by the total number of sales people.
Let's add up the commissions:
$13,000 + $22,000 + $47,000 + $15,000 + $24,000 = $121,000
Now, we divide the total commission by the number of sales people (which is 5):
$121,000 / 5 = $24,200
Therefore, the mean (average) commission earned by the five sales people at Southwest Appliances is $24,200.
