1.)Using the data in the Table above, calculate the mean average sitting time for women in Latin America. Show your work and round your answer to the first decimal place (i.e., ###.#).

2.) Using the data in Table 3.1 above, find the median average sitting time for women in Latin America. Show your work and round your answer to the first decimal place (i.e., ###.#).

3.) The mean average sitting time for men in the eight Latin American countries was 490.9 minutes per day. The corresponding median was 492.2 minutes per day. Use and interpret these statistics and those calculated in questions #1-2 for sitting time for women to describe how sitting time in Latin America tends to differ by sex.

4.) If you could use only one measure of central tendency to describe the results of this study for sitting time for men, would you use the mean or the median? Explain. (Hint: Use the mean-median difference to determine if there are any outliers in the distribution.)

5.) The Table below presents the standard deviation and range for the average sitting time in minutes per day in the eight Latin American countries by sex. Are the Latin American countries more varied or unlike each other (i.e., less predictable) in average sitting time for women than in average sitting time for men? Explain, using relevant data from the table.

Sex	Standard Deviation	Range
Women	69.8	212.9
Men	50.8	159.0
