Question: A local car dealership is interested in determining how successful their salespeople are in turning a profit when selling a car. Specifically, they are interested in the average percentage of price markups earned on various car sales. The following table lists the percentages of price markups for a random sample of car sales by three salespeople at this dealership. Note that here the markups are calculated as follows. Suppose an auto dealer pays $14,000 for a car and lists the sale price as $20,000, which gives a markup of $6000. If the car is sold for $17,000, the markup percentage earned on this sale is 50% ($3000 is half of $6000).
