Question

A start-up company has hired 7 workers with pay of £10 per hour. The supervisor will be paid £50 per hour.


a) Find the mean, median and mode of pay for all eight workers.
If you summarize this on table, it looks like:
Pay per hour            Number of workers
£10                                        7
£50                                        1
The table records hourly pay for each worker.


How did we find out the mean pay for the start-up?  


First, we found the total hourly pay for all the workers and then divided by the number of workers.
(?? × ? + ?? × 1) / 8
Similarly, for question 2, you need to find out the total number of claims first and then  divide by the number of policies.
