Mean is the average = summation of the salary / number of salary

= $ 43,929

median is the center value when arrange from lowest to highest

$35,000, $37,000, $37,000, $38,500, $40,000, $45,000, and $75,000

so the median is $ 38,500

mode is the most frequent value

so the mode is $ 37,000

so the answer

Both the mean and median are appropriate measures of center.
