b. Why do you suppose median salary at a school is used instead of the mean?
A. Salary distributions are usually skewed, making the median a more meaningful measure of center
QB. Salary distributions are usually bell-shaped, making the median a more meaningful measure of center
OC. It is easier to calculate the median for a salary distribution instead of the mean.
OD. Salary distributions are usually bimodal, making the median a more meaningful measure of center.
c. Using the graph, estimate the median mid-career salary for a median starting salary of $50,000,
The median mid-career salary for a median starting salary of $50,000 is about $
(Round to the nearest thousand as needed.)
