Find the average practice time
Use all five days, including the two days with the same practice time.
Priya practised her violin for 12, 15, 15, 18 and 20 minutes from Monday to Friday. What was her average practice time?

total = 12 + 15 + 15 + 18 + 20 = 80
number of data = 5
average = 80 ÷ 5 = 16 min
Ans: 16 min
