What is the mean salary for the company? Answer by ikleyn(52803) (Show Source):
The mean (or the arithmetic mean, or average) is the sum of addends divided by the number of addends.
We can write the sum of addends as 160000 + 120000 + 2*60000 + 40000 + 5*32000.
The number of addends is 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 5.
Therefore, the mean = = = 60000.
