Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the problem is asking for the average frequency of conflicts between siblings aged 2 to 4, expressed in minutes per conflict.
Recognize that this type of problem is based on observational data from developmental psychology studies that measure how often young children engage in conflicts.
Recall that research in child psychology has found that siblings in this age range tend to have conflicts approximately every 17 minutes on average.
Note that the options given (10, 20, 30 minutes) are close estimates, but the precise average from research is about 17 minutes.
Therefore, the key step is to remember or refer to empirical findings in developmental psychology that quantify sibling conflict frequency, which is about once every 17 minutes.
