You collect a set of data around a group of coworkers' incomes (in hourly wages). You find that among that group there is a mean income of $24 per hour, with a standard deviation of $4.55. If someone had never heard of mean and standard deviation, how would you describe these findings to them in the case of this finding across your coworkers?

Answer #1

Mean income (average) is the amount obtained by dividing the total aggregate income of the co-workers by the total number of co-workers in that group. In this case it is $24/hour.

Standard Deviation is one of the measures of variation of data under study.It is best used when the data is distributed normally. Here standard deviation of $4.55 means that this is value of variation in income among the co-workers.
