    Given the salaries of the employees working for the same company:

    $30,000

    $35,000

    $40,000

    $45,000

    $55,000

    $55,000

    $1,140,000

    The mean will be given by:

    ($30,000 + $35,000 + $40,000 + $45,000 + $55,000 + $55,000 + $1,140,000) / 7

    =1,400,000/7

    =200,000

    b]The measure of center that best describes the data set is the median, this is because if we use the mean, the data distribution will be skewed to the left hence it was give us the best description of the measure of the center.
