\large\text{Well, you know that mean means average. You have to find the}\\\large\text{sum of all of the number in the data set and divide the sum by}\\\large\text{by the total numbers in the data.}


\mathsf{(8+8+9+11+24)/(5)}


\mathsf{8 + 8 + 9 + 11 + 24}\\\mathsf{8 + 8 = \boxed{\bf 16}}\\\mathsf{= 16 + 9 + 11 + 24}\\\mathsf{16 + 9 = \boxed{\bf 25}}\\\mathsf{= 25+11+24}\\\mathsf{25+11=\boxed{\bf 36}}\\\mathsf{36+ 24}\\\boxed{= \mathsf{\bf 60}}


\mathsf{(60)/(5)}\\\\\\\mathsf{= (60/5)/(5/5)}\\\\\\\mathsf{= 60/5\rightarrow\boxed{\bf 12}}\\\\\\\mathsf{= 5/5\rightarrow\boxed{\bf 1}}\\\\\mathsf{\rightarrow (12)/(1)= \boxed{\bf 12}}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge Your \bf {MEAN is 12}}}}\huge\checkmark
