Question

A group of students was asked, "How many hours did you watch television last week?" Here are their responses. 11, 11, 9, 16, 16, 20 Find the median and mean number of hours for these students. If necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can get median by ordering increasing or decreasing order and find the midium data if the no. of data is even then you will take the mean of the 2 data.

9 , 11 , 11 , 16 , 16 , 20

so no. of data is 6 which is even so take the mean(average) of 11 and 16 .

(11+6) / 2 = 8.5

So the median is 8.5

And the mean of the data is

Mean = (11 + 11 + 9 + 16 + 16 + 20)/2

Mean = 83/2 = 41.5

So the mean is 41.5
