A symbol that appears more than once in a question has the same meaning throughout the question. [br] The sum of the annual salaries of the 21 teachers at School X is $781,200. Twelve of the 21 teachers have an annual salary that is less than $37,000.
选项
答案 A
解析 The average of the annual salaries of the 21 teachers is, or $37,200. By definition, the median of the 21 annual salaries is the 11th salary when the 21 salaries are listed in increasing order.
