A. No, Jacob is not correct. The mean amount he makes is $82.67 in a day.

B. Yes, Jacob is correct. The mean amount he makes is $81.67 in a day.

C. No, Jacob is not correct. The median amount he makes is $86.00 in a day.

D. Yes, Jacob is correct. The median amount he makes is $84.00 in a day.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. First list the numbers in numerical order (least to greatest) then find the two numbers in the middle which in this case would be 78 and 90, add them (168 total) and then lastly divide them by 2= 84.00.

Answer 2

I think the answer is D. The median is (90=78)/2 = 84
