When finding the mean you should first add up all the numbers which are 12,2,8,6 and 57 which will give you a sum of 85 next you should divide your sum by how many numbers there are which is 5 and your answer should be 17

Answer 2

Answer is 17.

Explanation;

Mean = sum of the value / number of values

To find out the sum of the values you have to add together all given numbers.

Hence,

     sum of the values = 12 + 2 + 8 + 6 + 57

                                    = 85

Number of values means number of data that we have.

According to the given data, there are 5 numbers.

Hence,

    mean = 85 / 5

              = 17
