Answer 1

To find the mean number of birds the bird watcher saw in one day, you need to follow these steps:

1. **Add the total number of birds seen over the week.**
\[
35 + 37 + 48 + 33 + 96 + 38 + 34 = 321
\]

2. **Count the number of days.**
There are 7 days from Monday to Sunday.

3. **Calculate the mean.**
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total number of birds}}{\text{Number of days}} = \frac{321}{7} \approx 45.857
\]

4. **Round to the nearest whole number.**
Rounding 45.857 gives us 46.

Therefore, the mean number of birds the bird watcher saw in one day is **46**.
