Maria is applying for a summer job. Six employees doing the same work earn $8.00, $8.50, $9.00, $9.50, $10.00, and $23.50 per hour. In the interview, the boss tells Maria that the median of the hourly wages is $9.25. Is the boss’s statement misleading? Why or why not?

To determine if the boss's statement about the median hourly wage is misleading, let's first understand what the median is. The median is a measure of central tendency that represents the middle value in a set of data when arranged in ascending or descending order.

Given the wages of the six employees: $8.00, $8.50, $9.00, $9.50, $10.00, and $23.50 per hour, let's arrange them in ascending order:

$8.00, $8.50, $9.00, $9.50, $10.00, $23.50

The median is the middle value, which in this case is $9.50.

Comparing this to the boss's statement that the median wage is $9.25, it is clear that the boss's statement is misleading. The actual median wage is $9.50, not $9.25.

Therefore, the boss's statement is not accurate and can be considered misleading. It is important to be aware of such discrepancies when evaluating information provided by others.
