Answer: <em>Tara thinks correctly.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let's calculate the average value in sample A:</em>

<em>(4 × 70 + 5 × 100 + 6 × 125 + 7 × 135 + 8 × 70) ÷ 500 = 6,07 ≈ </em><em>6 hours</em>

<em>Let's calculate the average value in sample B:</em>

<em>(4 × 80 + 5 × 90 + 6 × 120 + 7 × 125 + 8 × 85) ÷ 500 = 6,09 ≈ </em><em>6 hours</em>

<em>So, Tara is correct in saying that the mean is 6.</em>
