Answer :

To find the average, minimum, and maximum time to run 3 miles from the given data set, follow these steps:

1. List the Data:
There are 10 recorded times in minutes for running 3 miles:
- 272, 39, 278, 32.6, 38.1, 302, 249, 272, 38.8, 241

2. Calculate the Average Time:
- First, add up all the times: 272 + 39 + 278 + 32.6 + 38.1 + 302 + 249 + 272 + 38.8 + 241
- This sum is 1762.5
- To find the average, divide this sum by the number of data points (which is 10):
- Average Time = 1762.5 / 10 = 176.25 minutes

3. Find the Minimum Time:
- Look for the smallest number in the list:
- The minimum time is 32.6 minutes.

4. Find the Maximum Time:
- Look for the largest number in the list:
- The maximum time is 302 minutes.

So, the average time is 176.25 minutes, the minimum time is 32.6 minutes, and the maximum time is 302 minutes.
