Answer 1

61

Explanation:

To find the mean (average) number of hours studied in one month, you need to add up the hours studied for each month and then divide by the number of months. In this case, you have the following data:

72 hours

74 hours

16 hours

58 hours

58 hours

88 hours

Now, add these hours together:

72 + 74 + 16 + 58 + 58 + 88 = 366

Now, divide the total by the number of months (which is 6 in this case):

366 / 6 = 61

So, the mean number of hours studied in one month is 61 hours (rounded to the nearest whole number).
