Answer:

11.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean travel time for these students can be calculated as the sum of the travel times divided by the number of values, so the mean is equal to


\begin{gathered} \text{ mean = }(9+3+16+10+15+15+15+11)/(8) \\ \\ \text{ mean = }(94)/(8) \\ \\ \text{ mean=11.8} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the mean is 11.8 minutes
