Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the median number of siblings for the 6th graders surveyed, we need to find the middle value when the data is ordered.

Ordering the number of siblings from least to greatest:
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5

There are 18 6th graders surveyed, so the middle value is the average of the 9th and 10th values, which are both 1 sibling.

Therefore, the median number of siblings for the 6th graders surveyed is 1 sibling.

So, the correct response is: 1 sibling
