Answer 1

Yes, Sasha is correct. The mean amount she makes is $58.33 in a day.

Explanation:

Given that Sasha’s daily tips this work week were $43, $32, $65, $88, $50, and $72

Let us arrange in ascending order

32, 43,50,65,72,88

There are 6 entries hence 3rd and 4th are middle entries

Median = (50+65)/2=115/2=57.5

Sum of all entries = 350

No of entries =6

Mean amount = average = sum/6

=350/6

=58.33

Hence mean = 58.33

Out of 4 options we get I option only right

Yes, Sasha is correct. The mean amount she makes is $58.33 in a day.
