Question

On a survey, 8 students reported how many minutes it takes them to travel to school. Here are their responses.

4, 16, 4, 13, 4, 7, 4, 15
Find the mean travel time for these students.
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

9.6

Explanation:

When it says find the mean, it basically means find the average. So we'll add the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers there are (7).

(4+16+4+13+4+7+4+15)/7 = 9.571

Round to the nearest tenth, 9.6.
