The hourly wages at a local business are between $8.60 and $14.80 depending upon the job. Write an absolute value inequality describing the possible hourly wages of the employees.

Okay, so i already know that the inequality is like 8.60 is < or = to x is < or = 14.80. Now i have to find the midway point. Can someone help me with that ? Thank you(:

8.60 ≤ x ≤ 14.80

If you can assume a normal distribution, the midway between the two is $11.70. However, in real life, the wages are most likely positively skewed (most of them at the lower end with relatively few at the higher end). In the real life case, more information is needed.

I'm sorry I can't help more.
