To find the mean and median travel times, we can follow these steps:
-
Calculate the mean:
- First, sum the travel times: \( 6 + 7 + 4 + 14 + 6 \)
- This equals \( 6 + 7 + 4 + 14 + 6 = 37 \) minutes.
- Next, divide the sum by the number of students (5): \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{37}{5} = 7.4 \]
-
Calculate the median:
- First, we need to arrange the travel times in ascending order: \( 4, 6, 6, 7, 14 \).
- Since there are 5 numbers, the median will be the middle number, which is the third number in this ordered list.
- The median is \( 6 \).
Final Results:
- Mean travel time: \( 7.4 \) minutes
- Median travel time: \( 6 \) minutes
