Question

You manage a call center. You are reviewing wages for 25 phone operators and 5 supervisors. Phone operators

earn $22.85 per hour, and supervisors earn $27.25 per hour.
What, approximately, is the mean hourly wage for the 30 employees?
$23.02
$23.58
$25.05
$26.52
$27.21

Answer 1

Answer: To find the mean hourly wage, you need to sum up the total wages of all employees and then divide by the number of employees. The total hourly wage for 25 phone operators is 25 * $22.85 = $571.25. The total hourly wage for 5 supervisors is 5 * $27.25 = $136.25. The combined total is $571.25 + $136.25 = $707.50. The mean hourly wage for the 30 employees is $707.50 / 30 = $23.58. So, the answer is approximately $23.58.
