Question

formula 2 points
the following frequency table shows the annual salaries at the f.a.k.e. corporation
find the median salary.
do not include a $ with your response.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of data points

We sum up the frequencies: \(25 + 8+5 + 4+1=43\). Since \(n = 43\) (odd), the median position is \(\frac{n + 1}{2}=\frac{43+ 1}{2}=22\).

Step2: Cumulative frequency

Start adding frequencies from the lowest - salary group:

• For the salary of \(\$32000\), the frequency is \(25\). But \(25>22\).

Answer:

\(32000\)
