Frequency 60 90 75 120 60 45
---------
mean = ?
Sum of wage/freq products = 4786.5
Sum of the frequencies = 450
-----
mean = 4786.5/450 = 10.64
================
mode is the most frequent wage rate = 10.7
================
median is the middle score is the average of the 225th and 226th score =
(10.60+10.70)/2 = 10.65
