Answer:

15.6 movies

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is

20, 20, 11, 9, 18

The mean of these values is equal to the sum of these values divided by the number of values, so


\begin{gathered} \text{ mean = }(20+20+11+9+18)/(5) \\ \\ \text{ mean =}(78)/(5) \\ \\ \text{ mean = 15.6} \end{gathered}

So, the mean is 15.6 movies
