Question

The five students in Mrs. Hill’s class were asked how many minutes it takes them to go to school in the morning. here’s what they answered

10,6,10,8,11.
Find the mean and median.
If necessary round your answers
to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

mean = 9

median = 10

Explanation:

Finding the mean :

• Sum of the frequency values / Number of frequencies
• 10 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 11 / 5
• 45/5
• mean = 9

Finding the median :

• Order the frequency values in ascending order
• 6, 8, 10, 10, 11
• Since there is an odd number of frequencies, the median is the middle term
• Hence, median = 10
