Question

on a survey, 8 students reported how many minutes it takes them to travel to school. here 14, 3, 14, 13, 15, 9, 11, 16 find the mean travel time for these students. if necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth. minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Sum all travel times

Sum the values: \(14 + 3 + 14 + 13 + 15 + 9 + 11 + 16\). Calculate: \(14+3=17\), \(17+14=31\), \(31+13=44\), \(44+15=59\), \(59+9=68\), \(68+11=79\), \(79+16=95\).

Step2: Divide by number of students

There are 8 students. Mean = \(\frac{95}{8}\). Calculate: \(95\div8 = 11.875\).

Step3: Round to nearest tenth

\(11.875\) rounded to nearest tenth is \(11.9\).

Answer:

11.9
