A group of 6 students was asked, "How many hours did you watch television last week?" Here are their responses.

16, 8, 15, 5, 6, 20
Find the mean number of hours for these students.
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

If you could help me that would be great! I guess I am having a really big brain fart! But anyway, if you do THANKS!

Answer:

11.666666667 - rounded would be 11.67

Take away the 6 or 7. Can't remember

Explanation:

The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.
