The reaction times for a random sample of 9 subjects to a stimulant were recorded as 2.5, 3.6, 3.1, 4.3, 2.9. 2.3, 2.6, 4.1, and 3.4 seconds. Calculate (a) the mean; (b) the median. 8.4 The number of

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean is 3.2

Median is 3.1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) mean

= (2.5+3.6+3.1+4.3+2.9+2.3+2.6+4.1+3.4)/9

= 28.8/9

= 3.2

b) median: we will arrange in ascending order and pick the middle term.

2.3 2.5 2.6 2.9 3.1 3.4 3.6 4.1 4.3

From the above order, 3.1 is the middle term and is the median
