Question

Fast Pax Annual Salaries (Thousands of Dollars) Analysts determined that the $255,000 salary is an outlier. The box-and-whisker plot for the remaining data is shown. Describe the shape of the graph and the most appropriate measure of center. What would you tell a friend about Fast Pax now?

Answer 1

The data appears slightly skewed, so the median is probably the most appropriate measure.
You have a good chance of making between $16,000 and $23,000 because that is the range for the middle 50% of employees.

Answer 2

Answer:

The data is skewed, so the mean is not a good measure of the data.

A median of $20,000 is probably a better indicator of the salary you would earn.

75% of all employees make less than $25,000 annually.
