Problem of the Week
Problem A
Healthy Eating
Ms. Morgan’s health class is discussing healthy eating choices. She asked 9 of her students to write down how many servings of fruits or vegetables they eat every day. The following chart shows the results.
Servings of Fruits or Vegetables per Day
Student’s Name | Number of Servings |
---|---|
Vlad | 3 |
Tessa | 2 |
Shaheed | 4 |
Maja | 2 |
Mike | 3 |
Braydon | 2 |
Priya | 6 |
Juan | 2 |
Layla | 3 |
Given this data, what is the median (the number in the middle of the data when arranged in order) and the mode (the most common number) for the number of servings of fruits or vegetables consumed in a day by these students in Ms. Morgan’s health class?
