The two above must both be $36,900, since they are the mode. \n" ); document.write( "The sum of those 3 is $109,500 \n" ); document.write( "The other two have a sum of $63500. There are an infinite number of combinations for that. \n" ); document.write( "If the median employee gets a raise of $3900, they get $39,600. The new median will be $36,900, the mode, which doesn't change, but the 3rd largest salary (or 3rd smallest) will be the median.
