1.1 The median number of hours spent playing video games among the group is__________hours.

Hours spent by teenagers (in ascending orders time)

1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 7, 10+

Median time spent playing = 3 hours

A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5

1.2 Assuming that no individual played video games for more than 20 hours per week, then the greatest possible value for the mean number of hours of video game-playing per week for the group is___________hours.

Average time spent by All teenagers in playing games = \(\frac{# of teenagers*hours spent}{20}\)
Since no teenager played more than 20 hours, highest time spent playing by one teenager will be 20

2*1 = 2
4*2 = 8
5*3 = 15
3*4 = 12
4*5 = 20
1*7 = 7
1*20 = 20

Total = 84

Average Time spent = \(\frac{84}{20}\) = 20

A. 3.2
B. 3.7
C. 4.2
D. 4.5

Total = 84

How Come (1*20) ?
It should be 1*10 know, Making the total 74

74/20 = 3.7

Look at the information given-

The chart summarizes the results of a study where twenty teenagers were surveyed about the time they spent each week playing video games. Two reported playing video games for 1 hour, 4 reported playing for 2 hours, etc. while 1 respondent reported playing video games for more than 10 hours.

Remember it is more than 10 hours. And now look at the question itself -

Assuming that no individual played video games for more than 20 hours per week, then the greatest possible value for the mean number of hours of video game-playing per week for the group is___________hours.

So for calculating the greatest value of mean, we need the max value for that one individual, which is 20 in this case.
