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 her town and ask them how many hours they spend outside last week. Her results follow. What is the mean number of hours been outside for the kids she surveyed? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

To find the mean number of hours kids spent outside, we need to add up all the hours reported by the 19 kids and then divide by 19:

5 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 2 + 9 + 8 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 102

Now, we divide by 19:

102 / 19 ≈ 5.37

Therefore, the mean number of hours kids spent outside for the kids she surveyed is 5.37 hours.
