The data are gathered from publications and reports obtained directly from government agencies (such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) or from the International Labour Organization.
Suppose you are told that an accountant in Portugal who makes $1,358.90 has a z-score of -0.50 relative to other accountants in Portugal and that the standard deviation of the salary of accountants in Portugal is $388.20. The average salary, then, for accountants in Portugal is .
Suppose you are also told that an accountant in Finland who makes $3,556.10 has a z-score of +0.50 relative to other accountants in Finland and that the mean of the salary of accountants in Finland is $3,308. The standard deviation of the salary, then, for accountants in Finland is .?
