Meg concludes that students spend a mean of 7 hours in school each day. Tara thinks the mean is 6 hours. Who is correct—Meg or Tara? Explain your answer in two or three sentences. Make sure to use facts to support your answer
Need data. What facts beside those two numbers do you have?
To determine who is correct between Meg and Tara, we need to gather more data and calculate the mean using the actual values of students' daily school hours. One way to do this is by randomly selecting a sample of students and recording their daily school hours for a specific timeframe (e.g., a week). Then, we can calculate the mean from the collected data and compare it with the claims made by Meg and Tara.
