The mean is calculated by finding the sum of all the values and dividing by the total number of values. Without the actual set of data, we cannot calculate the mean. However, given the answer choices, we can make an educated guess. Option E has the highest value and is the closest to the average of all the answer choices, which is 7.4 (the sum of all answer choices divided by 5). Therefore, E is the best choice.
