B. 6
they add up to 48 and there are 8 numbers so 48 divided by 8 equals 6.

{3, 2, 2, 12, 6, 5, 14, 4}

Remember, to find the mean, you must add everything up, the divide it by how many numbers you added up.

So, do :

3 + 2 + 2 + 12 + 6 + 5 + 14 + 4 = 48

Then, because you added 8 numbers together, you would divide 8 from 48.

48 รท 8 = 6

So, your mean is b) 6

~Hope I helped!~
