find the mean number of raisins.
_____ raisins

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the number of raisins

We add up all the number of raisins: \(5 + 9 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 11\)
First, \(5+9 = 14\), then \(14 + 5 = 19\), \(19+5 = 24\), \(24 + 7 = 31\), \(31+11 = 42\)

Step2: Divide by the number of brands

There are 6 brands. So the mean is \(\frac{42}{6}=7\)

Answer:

7
