The distribution of the salaries at a small business is strongly skewed with many people making very modest salaries and a few making very large salaries. Which measure of center, mean or median, is a better indication of a "typical” salary at this business?

Median is a better indication of a "typical” salary at this business.

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is known as to be skewed to the right, or positively skewed, when maximum of the data are collected on the left of the distribution curve or the histogram.

A distribution is said to be skewed to the left, or negatively skewed, if maximum of the data are collected on the right of the distribution curve or the histogram.

It is provided that at a small business many people make very modest salaries and a few make very large salaries.

If a histogram is formed for the salaries of this companies employees, then most of the data will be collected towards the left of the graph and very few will be towards the right.

That is, the histogram will have a longer tail towards the right of the curve.

Thus, the distribution of the salaries at a small business is negatively skewed.

For a skewed distribution median is the best measure of average or typical value.

So, median is a better indication of a "typical” salary at this business.
