Answer:

Option B is correct

6

Explanation:

We have to find the mean of the given distribution.

The mean is known as the average,

which we find when we add all of our data and divide by the number of factors.

In this case, after reading the given graph,

the data set is equal to:

2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,5, 7, 8,8,8,8,9,9,9,9,10,10, 10, 10, 10,10

When all these numbers are added we get 180

Number of factors = 28

By definition of mean;


\text{Mean} = (180)/(28) \approx 6

Therefore, the following numbers is closest to the mean of this distribution is, 6
