SOLUTION

The arithemetic mean of a set of data is the sum of the datas divided by the number of data given.

Hence

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Mean}=\frac{sum\text{ of the data}}{n} \\ \text{where n= number of student=8} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Given the set of data below

[tex]9,\: 11,\: 3,\: 14,\: 14,\: 7,\: 14,\: 6[/tex]

The sum of the data is

[tex]9+11+3+14+14+7+14+6=78[/tex]

Hence

[tex]\text{Mean}=\frac{78}{8}=9.75[/tex]

The mean travel time for these students is 9.8 minutes to the nearest tenth.
