Question

The typical college freshman spends an average of μ = 150 minutes per day with a standard deviation of Ï = 50 minutes on social media. The distribution of time on social media is known to be Normal. The median of the distribution is:

Answer 1

The median is 150 minutes.

Explanation:

As we know, in our question, we have been told that the distribution of time on social media is known to be NORMAL. So, it’s a NORMAL DISTRIBUTION. And there is a property of normal distribution that it’s mean is equal to median which is also equals to mode.

So we can conclude that:

For Normal Distribution:

Mean = Median = Mode

So, in our question average = 150 minutes = mean

So, according to the property of normal distribution:

Mean = 150 minutes = Median
