The question is incomplete, here is the complete question I came across earlier;
Benjamin owns a small Internet business. Besides himself, he employs nine other people. The salaries earned by the employees are given below in thousands of dollars (Benjamin's salary is the largest, of course). 25, 27, 40, 50, 36, 50, 42, 65, 75, 30. Determine the mean for salary?
The answer is "44".
The mean for salary which is generally called the average, is the number you get by including all salaries together, at then dividing by the quantity of them. Another term median is where half acquire all more, half gain less.
25+27+40+50+36+50+42+65+75+30 = 440
Total number of salaries = 10
440/10 = 44 is the answer.
