Question

Suppose these show number of hours each student in a class slept last night:

Answer 1

Mean: (8+4+…+6)/12=6.9
For median let’s rearrange in order: 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10. Go to the middle: there’s an even number of options so between option 6 and option 7. Both have the value of 7 so it will be 7, but let’s set up the math for it anyway 7+7/2=7.
The first answer option is correct

Answer:

Mean: 6.9 hours; Median 7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ Given:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suppose these show number of hours each student in a class slept last night:

8, 4, 8, 7, 7, 9, 6, 5, 10, 7, 6, 6

What is the mean of these numbers (rounded to the nearest tenth)?

What is the median?

Mean: 6.9 hours; Median 7 hours

Mean: 6.9 hours; Median 7.5 hours

Mean: 7 hours; Median 6.9 hours

Mean: 7.2 hours; Median 7 hours

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

⇒ Solution~:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's first define "Median".

You may be wondering "What is median/What is mean?".

When it asking for "Mean" It asking for the average.

When it asking for "Median" It asking for the middle number.

The formula for "Mean" is : M = sum of the terms/number of terms

According to the given we have;

8, 4, 8, 7, 7, 9, 6, 5, 10, 7, 6, 6

Let's first find the "Mean":

First, add all the number together.

8 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 7 + 9 + 6 + 5 + 10 + 7 + 6 + 6

12 + 8 + 7 + 7 + 9 + 6 + 5 + 10 + 7 + 6 + 6

20 + 7 + 7 + 9 + 6 + 5 + 10 + 7 + 6 + 6

27 + 7 + 9 + 6 + 5 + 10 + 7 + 6 + 6

34 + 9 + 6 + 5 + 10 + 7 + 6 + 6

43+ 6 + 5 + 10 + 7 + 6 + 6

49+ 5 + 10 + 7 + 6 + 6

54+ 10 + 7 + 6 + 6

64 + 7 + 6 + 6

71+ 6 + 6

77 + 6

= 83

Now let's count how many numbers of hours each student in a class slept.

8, 4, 8, 7, 7, 9, 6, 5, 10, 7, 6, 6 = 12

Now 83 divide by 12:

83/12 = 6.9166666666667 {Round}

6.9166666666667 = 6.9

Therefore, Mean = 6.9

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, Let's find the "Median":

To find the Median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle.

⇒ 8, 4, 8, 7, 7, 9, 6, 5, 10, 7, 6, 6

⇒ 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10

Now we have them in order:

4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10

Then, we find the middle number:

4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10

4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10

4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10

4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10

4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10

Now You see that there two's 7 left.

If there is an even number of numbers add the two middles and divide by 2

Thus,

7 + 7 = 14

14/2 = 7

Therefore, Median = 7.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the solving above we can conclude that:

Mean: 6.9 hours; Median 7 hours
