Question

actual times (in seconds) recorded when statistics students participated in an experiment to test their ability to determine when one minute (60 seconds) had passed are shown below. find the mean, median, and mode of the listed numbers. 53 51 73 64 67 58 47 47 the mean is \\(\square\\) sec. (round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the sum of the data

Sum \( S=53 + 51+73 + 64+67 + 58+47 + 47\)
\(S = 450\)

Step2: Calculate the number of data points

Number of data points \(n = 8\)

Step3: Calculate the mean

Mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{S}{n}\)
\(\bar{x}=\frac{450}{8}=56.25\approx56.3\)

Answer:

\(56.3\)
