1 answer

To find the difference in yearly median income for a female versus a male with some college education, we first need to convert the weekly incomes into yearly incomes.

  1. Calculate the yearly income for a male: \[ \text{Yearly income for males} = \text{Weekly income} \times 52 = 951 \times 52 = 49,452 \]

  2. Calculate the yearly income for a female: \[ \text{Yearly income for females} = \text{Weekly income} \times 52 = 717 \times 52 = 37,284 \]

  3. Now, find the difference in yearly median income: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Yearly income for males} - \text{Yearly income for females} = 49,452 - 37,284 = 12,168 \]

Thus, the difference in yearly median income for a female versus a male with some college education is $12,168.
