If you were applying for a job and the boss said: “We have 7 employees and the average salary is $100,000,” would you hope that “average” refers to the mean, the median, or the mode salary? Why?

When applying for the job, we would hope that is the mode.  The mode is the value that appears most often; if most people in the office make $100,000 that may speak better of your potential salary.
