3. An analysis of monthly wages paid to workers in two firms A and B, belonging to the same industry, gives the following results:
Firm A |
Firm B |
|
No. of wage earners |
||
Mean of monthly wages |
||
Variance of the distribution of wages |
(i) Which firm A or B pays larger amount as monthly wages?
Given, Mean of monthly wages of firm A = 5253
Number of wage earners = 586
Total amount paid = 586 x 5253 = 30,78,258
Again, Mean of monthly wages of firm B = 5253
Number of wage earners = 648
Total amount paid = 648 x 5253 = 34,03,944
Hence firm B pays larger amount as monthly wages.
