Tablet Computers. Tablet personal computers such as iPad and Kindle Fire are one-piece portable computers that typically offer a touchscreen. Tablets are available in different sizes but generally offer a screen that is greater than 7 inches diagonally. Consumer Reports reviews tablets of different sizes and Internet capabilities. The battery lives, in hours, for a sample of tablets with screen sizes between 9 and 12 inches are provided in the following table.

Explanation / Answer

The The battery lives, in hours, for a sample of tablets is given as,

8.4, 5.6, 10.9, 10.8, 11.5, 8.0, 8.5, 12.9

Mean of the data is

(8.4 + 5.6 + 10.9 + 10.8 + 11.5 + 8.0 + 8.5 + 12.9) / 8 = 9.575

So, B is correct answer.

The data in sorted order is

5.6, 8.0, 8.4, 8.5, 10.8, 10.9, 11.5, 12.9

Median of the data is the average of the middle two elements

= (8.5 + 10.8) / 2 = 9.65

So, F is the correct answer.

As, all data values are different, there is no mode in this data set.

So, D is the correct answer.

Range of the data = Max value - Min value = 12.9 - 5.6 = 7.3

So, A is the correct anser
