I need help with this, it's due in 15 mins- Mrs. Carver recorded how much time you and your classmates spent working on helping her with the science lab on Friday. The number of hours each student spent is shown below.

1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 7

She wants you to find the mean, mode, and median of the given data. How did you solve each part?

Mean: 3.5263157894737

Median: 3

Mode: 3

Step-by-step explanation: The mode is 3 because the mode is for which number pops up the most, which is 3.

I got the median by crossing out 8 from the left and the right of the number set and got 3 as the last number.

I got the mean by adding up all the numbers and divided it by the amount of numbers in the set.

they can both be solutions depends on the equation

step-by-step explanation:

what is the equation? ?

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
