A survey asked students how many siblings they have. The frequency table shows the responses.
$\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Number of siblings} & \text{Number of students} \\ \hline 0 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 4 \\ 3 & 5 \\ 4 & 2 \end{array}$

What is the mean number of siblings per student?

Five students answered the statistical question "How many hours did you sleep last night?" The answers were $9, 4, 11, 6, 2$. What is the median number of hours?
