This question is asking us to compare a given
- 00:50
salary in 2009 to the average salary in Figure 1.
- 00:54
So let's look at Figure 1.
- 00:56
Let's look for the average salary in 2009.

- 01:07
we have to make some deductions about the data we ARE given.
- 01:11
The average salary in 2005 is around $2.7 million bucks and the average salary in 2010 is around $3.7 million bucks.

and the thing we SHOULD notice... is that the average
- 01:26
salary is in between the 2005 and 2010 salaries.
- 01:33

- 01:36
to the salary received by the rest of MLB players.
- 01:40
Which is answer choice C!
