Q25. Which session suits the woman?哪一場適合這位女子？
W: A word about how to read the figures in your pack. Every number is annual unless it says otherwise, and every percentage is of the whole company, not of the department. Where you see a dash, the data was not collected that year; do not read it as zero. The averages exclude part-time staff, because including them made the pay figures meaningless. If a number looks wrong, tell me before the meeting rather than during it.說明一下如何閱讀資料袋裡的數字。除非另有註明，每個數字都是年度值，而每個百分比都是佔全公司，不是佔部門。看到橫線的地方，表示那一年沒有收集資料；不要當成零。平均值不含兼職員工，因為納入他們會讓薪資數字失去意義。若你覺得某個數字有誤，請在會前告訴我，不要在會議中提出。
Q26. What does a dash mean?橫線代表什麼？
Q27. Who is excluded from the averages?平均值不含誰？
Q28. When should errors be reported?發現錯誤何時該回報？
M: Here is how our staffing has changed over two decades. Twenty years ago nearly everyone was full-time and the average age was thirty-one. Today a third of the team is part-time, and the average age is forty-four, because few youngsters apply and almost nobody leaves. That has raised our experience and our wage bill at the same pace. The schedule for next year therefore includes two training posts aimed at people under twenty-five.以下是我們人力二十年來的變化。二十年前幾乎所有人都是全職，平均年齡三十一歲。今天三分之一的團隊是兼職，平均年齡四十四歲，因為很少年輕人來應徵，而幾乎沒有人離職。這使我們的經驗與薪資支出以相同的速度上升。因此明年的規劃包含兩個針對二十五歲以下者的培訓職缺。
Q29. What was true twenty years ago?二十年前的情況是什麼？
Q30. Why has the average age risen?平均年齡為什麼上升？
Q31. What is planned for next year?明年計畫什麼？
W: Averages deserve more suspicion than they get. If nine people earn twenty thousand and one earns two hundred thousand, the average is thirty-eight thousand, and it describes nobody in the room. The middle value would be twenty thousand, which describes nine of them. So when a report gives you an average without the spread, it has told you a number but not a fact. Always ask for the range, or at least the highest and the lowest.平均值值得比現在更多的懷疑。若九個人賺兩萬、一個人賺二十萬，平均是三萬八，而它描述不了在場的任何人。中位數會是兩萬，那描述了其中九個人。所以當一份報告只給你平均值卻沒有分布時，它給了你一個數字，但不是一個事實。永遠要問全距，或至少問最高與最低。
Q32. What is the average in the example?例子中的平均是多少？
Q33. What describes nine of the ten people?什麼能描述十人中的九人？
Q34. What should readers always ask for?讀者應該永遠要求什麼？
| Department | Staff | Part-time | Average pay | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Department A | 62 | 38 | NT$41,000 | Apartment |
| Department B | 24 | 3 | NT$68,000 | Falling |
| Department C | 40 | 9 | NT$52,000 | Apartment |
| Department D | 31 | 6 | NT$57,000 | Up 10 years |
M: Please look at the printed figures for four departments while I comment. Notice that the department with the highest number of staff does not have the highest wage bill, because most of its people are part-time. The smallest department has the highest average pay, and also the highest proportion of senior staff, which explains it. One department has grown every year for a decade; that is the one the board wants to discuss.我評論時請看印出的四個部門數字。請注意人數最多的部門薪資支出並非最高，因為多數人是兼職。人數最少的部門平均薪資最高，資深員工比例也最高，這就是原因。有一個部門連續十年每年成長；那就是董事會想討論的部門。
Q35. According to the table and the talk, which department will the board discuss?根據表格與談話，董事會要討論哪個部門？
