I have to statistically analyze wages of two salons - i did this by calculating the mean, mode, median and range the results were:
salon 1 mean = £287.50 mode = £300 median = £300 range = £450
salon 2 mean = £305.00 mode = £300 median = £300 range = £450

The important thing to note about these figures is that although the mode, median and range of the two sets are the same, the mean is not.
The mean in the second group is almost the same as the median, which tells us that the data are roughly symmetrical. The mean in the first group is lower than the median and this means that wages are skewed.

The mode, median and range of the wages were identical, but the average wages of salon 2 was higher than that of salon 1. Either the workers in salon 2 are overpaid or the workers in salon 1 are underpaid.

Average wages of salon 2 is greater than average wages of salon 1.
Hence finding a job in salon 2 is better.
