Solution

To find the mean 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 times: 3 + 10 + 15 + 7 + 13 + 8 + 10 + 7 = 73 minutes
  2. Divide the total time by the number of students: 73 ÷ 8 = 9.125 minutes

So, the mean travel time for these students is approximately 9.1 minutes when rounded to the nearest tenth.
