Bot GPT 3.5 answered

To find the median number of hours spent on screens, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order:

0, 7, 8, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 17.5, 18, 18, 18, 20, 30

Since we have 15 numbers, the median will be the average of the 8th and 9th numbers in this ordered list.

Median = (15 + 17)/2 = 16

Therefore, the median number of hours spent on screens by the kids surveyed is 16 hours.
