Agroup of 6 students was asked, "how many hours did you watch television last week? " here are their responses: 9, 8, 18, 6, 18, 18 find the median and mean number of hours for these students. if necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth.

To find the median, we order all the values from least to greatest and pick out the middle one:
6, 8, 9, 18, 18, 18

Since there’s an even amount of numbers, there the real median can be found by taking the mean of the two values:
(9 + 18) / 2 = 13.5

To find the mean of the whole data set, we add all the numbers together and divide by the amount of numbers there are:
(6 + 8 + 9 + 18 + 18 + 18) / 6
= 77 / 6
= 12.8 (rounded to the tenth)

So the MEDIAN is 13.5 hours, and the MEAN is 12.8 hours! :)
