The salaries, in thousands of dollars, of 11 people, chosen at random in a certain office, were found to be:
40, 42, 45, 41, 352, 40, 50, 48, 51, 49, 47.
Choose and calculate an appropriate measure of central tendency (mean, mode or median) to summarise these salaries. Explain briefly why the other measures are not suitable.
