@cookiemonster ???

cookiemonster · Answer

ummm im not sure thats why i need your help .

cookiemonster · Answer

lets start with part A @Shadow

Part A: If the manager wants to award the sales team that has the most consistent earnings among its team members, which team should it choose and why? Justify your answer mathematically. (5 points)

Shadow · Answer

Did you learn what Range, Mean, and Median are?

cookiemonster · Answer

um i think so..

Shadow · Answer

Can you define them for me?

cookiemonster · Answer

ok

cookiemonster · Answer

so mean is like the average number i believe and then median is the middle, and range is i think the lowest and highest values?

Shadow · Answer

Which one do you think would be best utilized for Part A?

Shadow · Answer

Just talk to me so we can figure it out. What is your first guess, and why?

Shadow · Answer

Range is the difference between the lowest, and highest value
Mean is the average of all values 
Median is the epicenter of all values

Shadow · Answer

So if a team has a high range value, then that means that someone is earning a lot less than what the highest earner is bringing in.
