Answer:

The mean is 6.2.

Explanation:

The "mean" is the same thing as the "average". Essentially, the question is asking for the average of the numbers.

So:

Add up all of the terms. [6 + 11 + 5 + 2 + 7] = 31

You find the average by dividing the sum of the terms (31) by the number of terms (5).

31/5 = 6.2

The mean is 6.2.

I hope this helped! :)
