The director of a local summer camp is interested in the number of hours kids spend on screens each week. He surveys a group of 15 kids at his camp and asks them how many hours they spent on screens last week. A list of his results follows. What is the median number of hours spent on screens for the kids he surveyed? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
{7,8,0,15,14,11,17.5,17,18,20,18,30,18,8,10} (1 point)
The median number of hours spent on screens by the kids that the director surveyed is
hours.
To find the median, we first need to arrange the data in order:
0, 7, 8, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 30
Since there are 15 data points, the median will be the middle value, which in this case is the 8th value since 15 is odd.
Therefore, the median number of hours spent on screens by the kids surveyed is 15 hours.
