Respuesta :

I got 248.5 as my answer. 

Answer:

The median of the staff wages is £248.50

Step-by-step explanation:

A selection of staff wages is collected in the given data set. We have to find the median of the staff wages.

To find the median we have to arrange the data set to ascending order or lowest to highest wages.

£90, £116, £165, £180, £180, £221, £239, £243, £254, £254, £276, £310, £312, £350, £536, £700

Now we calculate the mean of middle numbers

Median = [tex]\frac{(243+254)}{2}[/tex] = 248.5

The median of the staff wages is £248.50
