A group of seven students was asked how many hours did you watch television last week here are their responses 14 15 8 13 4 20 and 16 find the mean number of hours for these students if necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth
To find the mean number of hours, you need to add up all the given hours and then divide the sum by the total number of students.
Total number of hours:
14 + 15 + 8 + 13 + 4 + 20 + 16 = 90
Total number of students = 7
Mean number of hours = total number of hours / total number of students = 90/7 ≈ 12.9
Therefore, the mean number of hours for these students is approximately 12.9.
To find the mean (average) number of hours watched by the seven students, you need to sum up all the hours and then divide by the total number of students.
Sum of hours: 14 + 15 + 8 + 13 + 4 + 20 + 16 = 90
Total number of students: 7
Mean = Sum of hours / Total number of students = 90 / 7
Calculating this value:
Mean = 12.857 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Therefore, the mean number of hours watched by the students is approximately 12.9.
To find the mean number of hours watched by the seven students, you need to calculate the average.
Step 1: Add up all the hours watched.
14 + 15 + 8 + 13 + 4 + 20 + 16 = 90
Step 2: Divide the sum by the total number of students.
90 / 7 ≈ 12.9
Therefore, the mean number of hours watched by the students is approximately 12.9 hours.
