AI Thread Summary
The average salary at ABC Ltd is £30,000 with a variance of £4,000,000, leading to a standard deviation of £2,000. Each employee will receive a fixed bonus of £500 plus an incentive bonus of 10% of their salary. The mean bonus can be calculated by adding the fixed bonus to the average of the incentive bonuses, resulting in a total mean bonus of £3,000. The standard deviation of the bonuses will also reflect the variability in salaries, calculated based on the 10% incentive. Understanding these calculations is crucial for accurately assessing employee compensation.
