Hey there!

• When you hear the word “mean” in mathematics it usually defined as “average”.

• To find it you have to ADD all of the numbers DIVIDE all of the numbers you have in the given data plot.

YOUR EQUATION:

10 + 8 + 5 + 12 + 20 / 5

= 18 + 5 + 12 + 20 / 5

= 23 + 12 + 20 / 5

= 35 + 20 / 5

= 55 / 5

= 11


Therefore, your answer is: 11


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
