Ten students were asked about how many hours each week they spent playing video games. These were their responses:

Question

5, 5, 5, 2, 6, 1, 15, 2, 3, 1

Calculate the mean, median, and mode

Mean:

Answer 1

(5 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 6 + 1 + 15 + 2 + 3 + 1) / 10 = 5.5 hours per week

Median:
First, list the numbers in order: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6, 15
Since there are 10 numbers, the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th numbers.
Median = (3 + 5) / 2 = 4 hours per week

Mode:
The mode is the number that appears most frequently in the data set.
In this case, the mode is 5, as it appears 3 times.
