The Giants' 2009 average salary is $3,043,017.

00:19

How does this average salary compare to the average salary in Figure 1?

00:44

Well here are the potential answers...

00:48

This question is asking us to compare a given

00:50

salary in 2009 to the average salary in Figure 1.

00:54

So let's look at Figure 1.

00:56

Let's look for the average salary in 2009.

00:58

And hmmm...it's not there. Is that a typo?

01:02

Well..unfortunately not. Because we're only given the salary in 2005 and 2010....

01:07

we have to make some deductions about the data we ARE given.

01:11

The average salary in 2005 is around $2.7 million bucks and the average salary in 2010 is around $3.7 million bucks.

01:19

And the Giant's average salary is $3.043 million bucks give or take..

01:24

and the thing we SHOULD notice... is that the average

01:26

salary is in between the 2005 and 2010 salaries.

01:33

This suggests that the Giants' salary is at least SIMILAR

01:36

to the salary received by the rest of MLB players.

01:40

Which is answer choice C!
