Speedy Shipping Co. has the greater median salary because the overall salaries are higher, and the data is not as far skewed to the right as Northern Parcel Express.

Answer 1

To accurately respond to the question regarding the median salary of the companies, I would need to analyze the images or datasets referred to. However, without access to those images or datasets, I cannot definitively evaluate the median salaries or the skewness of the distributions.

In general, the median salary is the middle value of a dataset. Skewness indicates whether data points are concentrated on one side of the distribution. If both datasets are symmetric and have the same mean and median, they would indeed have the same median. If one data set is skewed, it could potentially have a different median than one that is not skewed.

If you can provide more specific information about the salaries or distribution characteristics from the datasets, I could help clarify which statement is the most accurate.
