The 5 students in Mr. Campbell's class were asked how many minutes it takes them to get to school in the morning. Here is what they answered. 16, 12,8,6,10 If necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth. (a) Median: \( \square \) minutes (b) Mean:

To solve for the median and mean of the given data set, we will follow these steps: ### Given Data The times taken by the 5 students to get to school are: \[ 16, 12, 8, 6, 10 \] ### Step 1: Calculate the Median 1. **Sort the data in ascending order**: \[ 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 \] 2. **Find the median**: - Since there are 5 numbers (an odd count), the median is the middle number. - The middle number in the sorted list is the 3rd number. Thus, the median is: \[ \text{Median} = 10 \text{ minutes} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Mean 1. **Sum the data**: \[ 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 16 = 52 \] 2. **Divide the sum by the number of students**: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{52}{5} = 10.4 \] ### Final Answers (a) Median: \( 10 \) minutes (b) Mean: \( 10.4 \) minutes
