What is the average pay for an entry-level technician position if similar positions pay $15.50, $16.85, $14.25, and $15.95 per hour?

  1. $14.75

  2. $15.50

  3. $15.64

  4. $16.00

The correct answer is: $15.64

To find the average pay for the entry-level technician position, you need to sum the hourly wages of similar positions and then divide by the total number of positions considered. In this case, the hourly wages are $15.50, $16.85, $14.25, and $15.95. First, add these values together: $15.50 + $16.85 + $14.25 + $15.95 = $62.55 Next, since there are four positions, divide the total sum by 4 to find the average: $62.55 ÷ 4 = $15.6375 Rounding this to two decimal places results in an average pay of approximately $15.64. This calculation shows how to derive the average from a set of numbers, making option C the most accurate choice for the average pay for the entry-level technician position.
