Answer 1

Answer:

45+45+49+38+56+54+55+47/8

=486/8=6.705.

Answer 2

Answer:

The median wage is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given wages of 8 workers are given as follows,

42, 45, 49, 38, 56, 54, 55, 47.

Arranging the given data is ascending order we get,

38, 42, 45, 47, 49, 54, 55, 56.

Since the number of wages or number of workers are even in number, we need to add the two wages in the middle of the distribution and divide the sum by two, to find the median wage.

Therefore, Median Wage = $\frac{47+49}{2} = \frac{96}{2} = 48$

Hence, the median wage is 48.
