Question

during contract negotiations. You have a list of the Suppose you are representing the employees at a large co salaries of all the employees at the corporation (The salaries include the many lower level employees and the few high paid management employees) and you plan to find a measure of center (e.g. mean, median, or mode). a. Which measure or center would you use to represent the emplovees in an effort to support your claim that the average salary of lower level employees is much lower than the national average (for lower level employees) and thus should be increased? median mode mean b. Why is this the better choice?

Explanation / Answer
