To find the mean number of movies that the students saw, you need to follow these steps:
-
Sum the number of movies:
- Add all the reported numbers: \( 13 + 20 + 10 + 11 + 17 + 6 + 11 + 19 \)
\[ = 13 + 20 = 33 \ = 33 + 10 = 43 \ = 43 + 11 = 54 \ = 54 + 17 = 71 \ = 71 + 6 = 77 \ = 77 + 11 = 88 \ = 88 + 19 = 107 \]
So, the total number of movies is 107.
-
Count the number of students:
- There are 8 students.
-
Calculate the mean:
- Divide the total number of movies by the number of students: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total movies}}{\text{Number of students}} = \frac{107}{8} \]
Performing the division: \[ 107 \div 8 = 13.375 \]
-
Round to the nearest tenth:
- Rounding \( 13.375 \) to the nearest tenth gives you 13.4.
Therefore, the mean number of movies that the students saw is 13.4.
