Question

The director of a local parks and recreation department is interested in the number of hours kids spent outside each week. She surveys a group of 19 kids in our town and ask them how many hours they spent outside last week. Her results follow. What does it mean number of hours spent outside for the kids she surveyed? We're on your answer to the nearest hundredth. Zero, 10, 15, for, 70, 15, 18, 20, six, eight, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, two, 50, 40, 10

Answer 1

The average number of hours spent outside for the 19 kids surveyed is:

(0 + 10 + 15 + 70 + 15 + 18 + 20 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 20 + 2 + 50 + 40 + 10) / 19
= 351 / 19
≈ 18.47

Therefore, the average number of hours spent outside for the kids surveyed is approximately 18.47 hours.
