You think that $39,500 is a good salary and are interested in a job with Fast Pax. What other information might you want to know about Fast Pax salaries, and why?

Answer:

I would want to know the range of salaries, the minimum and maximum salaries, whether the minimum is an entry-level salary, and how the salaries are distributed. I would also want to know whether a few very high salaries make the average higher than what most employees earn, because that would help me determine whether $39,500 is typical and whether it is a good salary for the position.
