Answer:
Explanation:
First let's rearrange the terms in ascending order:
199, 218, 253, 288, 293, 302, 330
The Median is the middle most number(s).
We can count over to the middle to see that 288 is our desired Median.
Now to the second question:
What is the mean:
199 + 218 + 253 + 288 + 293 + 302 + 330 = 1883.
Now we can divide 1883 by the number of terms in our sequence. That is 7. We have:
1883 ÷ 7 = 269 as our Mean.
Now for our final question:
He wants his average pay to be 5 dollars more. To make that happen we will need to add a number that is 8 * 5 = 40 dollars more than 269, our mean.
269 + 40 = 309.
We have 199 + 218 + 253 + 288 + 293 + 302 + 330 + 309 = 2192.
Dividing by 8 gives us 274, which is 5 more than 269. So our answer is $309 because that will higher his average pay by $5.
