Solution

To find the mean (average) travel time for these students, you need to add up all the times and then divide by the number of students.

Here are the steps:

  1. Add up all the travel times: 15 + 16 + 9 + 9 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 9 = 75 minutes
  2. Count the number of students: There are 8 students.
  3. Divide the total travel time by the number of students: 75 ÷ 8 = 9.375

If we round this to the nearest tenth, the mean travel time for these students is 9.4 minutes.
