Pension is calculated on the average of his last four years salary :

Salary for last four years :

82,000 + 96,000 + 105,000 + 109,000 = $392,000

Average salary over the last four years :

392,000 / 4 = $98,000

Number of years worked = 20 years

1.2% of his average salary over the last four years :

0.012 × $98,000 = $1,176

$1,176 × number of years worked

$1,176 × 20 = $23,520

Using the mean concept, it is found that Eddie's pension is of $23,520.

The mean of a data-set is given by the sum of all observations in the data-set divided by the number of observations.

In this problem, there are 4 observations, which are $82,000, $96,000, $105,000, and $109,000, hence, the mean is:

[tex]M = \frac{82000 + 96000 + 105000 + 109000}{4} = 98000[/tex]

1.2% of the average is given by:

[tex]0.012(98000) = 1176[/tex]

He worked for 20 years, hence, the pension is of:

[tex]P = 1176(20) = 23520[/tex]
