Respuesta :

1. If the mean is used to determine Nathan's salary, he should choose Company A.

2. If the median is used to determine Nathan's salary, he should choose Company A.

3. The center of the data for Company B is more accurately described by the Median because the data is not uniformly scattered and has extreme values or outliers.

What are the Mean and Median values?

The Mean is the average value obtained after adding up a set of values and dividing the result by the number in the set.

The Median represents the middle value in an ordered list from smallest to largest.

Data and Calculations:

Salaries   Company A   Company B

Year 1                10                   10

Year 2              20                  20

Year 3              30                  70

Year 4              40                  30

Year 5              50                  40

Year 6              60                  50

Year 7              70                  60

Total             280                280

Mean              40                  40

Median           40                  35 (30 + 40)/2

Thus, Nathan should choose Company A whether the Mean or the Median is used to determine Nathan's salary.
