Question

According to the line plot, what is the total amount of time spent studying by the students who studied for an hour each?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of time studying by students who spent 1/2 an hour studying is the product of the number of students who spent 1/2 an hour studying by 1/2 an hour.

Hence, counting the number of dots on the point marked 1/2 gives the count of students who spent 1/2 an hour studying and multiply this number by 1/2.

Total amount of hours spent = 1/2 * 5 = 2.5 hours
