Question 1 Report
As the account clerk of an organisation, you are to prepare the table as shown below using a spreadsheet application:
| Worker | Wage/day(#) |
| Edeh | 1500 |
| Usman | 1750 |
| Steven | 1200 |
| Ololade | 650 |
| Comfort | 897 |
| Joe | 2371 |
(a) Copy and paste table title "Workers' Wages" on the same sheet. Format this new table as follows:
(i) Title the new table as SALARIES
(ii) Sort the table in alphabetical order
(iii) Calculate average wage of workers per day
(iv) Calculate the max and min wages paid to the workers from the SALARIES
(b) Insert a bar chart for data in 2a
(c) Save workbook with your full name in the folder created
(d) Print and submit
This is a spreadsheet (e.g. Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc) practical task. The steps below reproduce the original table, create the required SALARIES table, apply the sorting and calculations, and insert the bar chart.
Enter the data exactly as given. Type the title in cell A1, the headings in row 2, and the records below.
| Workers' Wages | |
| Worker | Wage/day (₦) |
| Edeh | 1500 |
| Usman | 1750 |
| Steven | 1200 |
| Ololade | 650 |
| Comfort | 897 |
| Joe | 2371 |
Select the original table, press Ctrl + C to copy, click an empty cell (e.g. D1) and press Ctrl + V to paste a copy on the same sheet.
After sorting, the SALARIES table looks like this:
| SALARIES | |
| Worker | Wage/day (₦) |
| Comfort | 897 |
| Edeh | 1500 |
| Joe | 2371 |
| Ololade | 650 |
| Steven | 1200 |
| Usman | 1750 |
Assuming the six wages occupy cells E3:E8, enter these formulae in empty cells below the table:
| Statistic | Formula | Result (₦) |
| Average wage/day | =AVERAGE(E3:E8) | 1394.67 |
| Maximum wage | =MAX(E3:E8) | 2371 |
| Minimum wage | =MIN(E3:E8) | 650 |
Verification of the average:
\[ \text{Average} = \frac{897 + 1500 + 2371 + 650 + 1200 + 1750}{6} = \frac{8368}{6} = 1394.67 \]Select the Worker and Wage/day columns of the SALARIES table, then choose Insert → Chart → Column/Bar. The chart plots each worker's daily wage:
The tallest bar belongs to Joe (₦2371, the maximum) and the shortest to Ololade (₦650, the minimum), which agrees with the MAX and MIN results above.
