Re: Average - I really need help
Hi fretsonfireking;
Statistical term? I do not understand, do you want the average or mean of something?

They said, that 10 workers loan is R 650. They said that the person that gets the highest loan gets R 2000 rand. Work out the average of the other 9 workers and give the statistical term for the R 2000 given previously

The average wage for factory workers is R 650 per week. If the person making the highest wage earn R 2000. Find the average wage of the other nine workers. Which statistical term do we use to describe the salary of R 2000?

Re: Average - I really need help
hi fretsonfireking
When one value is a long way from all the rest like this ,
it is called an 'outlier'. (= lies a long way out from the rest)
hi bobbym. How are you?
I've been away so just catching up. OP may not come back to view this. Are you able to email him directly?

hi anonimnystefy
what is up?
The sky?
A pair of hot air balloons I saw a while back.
And according to Dictionary.com it's all of these: adverb, preposition, adjective, noun, verb
Unfortunately for my savings, not the stock market.
How are you?

Hi bob bundy;
I am okay, how are you?
Are you able to email him directly?
I do not know if I can do that. Could be violating a members privacy. Those addresses are private.

I'm very well thanks.
When I'm subscribed to a thread I get an email to tell me there's something new to read. Can you 'subscribe' him?
