A) $28,000  B) $28,500  C) $30,200  D) $30,800  E) $31,500
Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:   $27,000, $29,000, $30,000, $31,000, $32,000, $35,500, $40,000, $43,000   Since there is an even number of items in the data set, we compute the median by taking the mean of the two middlemost numbers.   $31,000 + $32,000 = $63,000   The median salary is $31,500.   $31,500
