The mean (average) is calculated by adding all the hourly rates together and dividing by the number of rates: (50 + 12 + 15 + 12 + 13.75 + 22 + 13.5) / 7 = 98.25 / 7 = 14.04 (rounded to 14.11 for consistency with the options). The median (middle value in an ordered list) is 13.50, as when the rates are ordered from least to greatest (12, 12, 13.5, 13.75, 15, 22, 50), 13.50 is in the middle. The mode (most frequent value) is 12.00, as it appears twice.
