The mean number of hours spent on math homework can be calculated by adding up the total number of hours (1+1+2+2+2+2+2+2+3+3+3+3+4+4+5) and then dividing by the total number of students (8+6+4+2+1 = 21).
Total number of hours = 35
Total number of students = 21
Mean = Total number of hours / Total number of students = 35 / 21 ≈ 1.67 hours
Therefore, the mean number of hours students spent on math homework is 1.67 hours.
Use the image to answer the question.
A bar graph shows the number of hours spent on math homework versus the number of students. The horizontal axis shows the time in hours ranging from 1 to 5 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows the number of students ranging from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. The data with time in hours, followed by the number of students is as follows: 1 to 8, 2 to 6, 3 to 4, 4 to 2, and 5 to 1.
The graph shows the number of hours randomly selected students spent on math homework. What is the mean number of hours students spent on math homework?
