6.Short answer: Find the mean walking time. Add all 12 times, then divide by 12.
7.Short answer: Which walking time occurs most often? How many students recorded that time?
8.Long answer: Make a frequency table for the times 0, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15 and 20 minutes. Include the number of students for each time and check that your frequencies add to 12.
9.Long answer: Use your frequency table to plan a bar graph. State a suitable title, the labels for both axes, and the height of each bar.
10.Long answer: A student says, “Everyone in the class walks for about 10 minutes, so there is no need to look at the other data.” Use two statistics or details from the survey to explain one thing this statement gets right and one thing it misses.
