32

Explanation:

Answer 2

mean number of hours worked = 32

Explanation:

The mean or average of a set of data is the sum of the individual data divided by the number of entries.

Therefore, the mean number of hours worked is calculated as follows:

sum of the number of hours = 30 + 15 + 32 + 48 + 16 + 51 + 30 + 35 + 32 + 31 = 320

Number of entries = 10

mean number of hours worked = sum of the number of hours ÷ Number of entries

mean number of hours worked = 320 ÷ 10 = 32
