[tex]\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.}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{8+8+9+11+24}{5}}[/tex]
[tex]\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}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{60}{5}}\\\\\\\mathsf{= \dfrac{60\div5}{5\div5}}\\\\\\\mathsf{= 60\div5\rightarrow\boxed{\bf 12}}\\\\\\\mathsf{= 5\div5\rightarrow\boxed{\bf 1}}\\\\\mathsf{\rightarrow \dfrac{12}{1}= \boxed{\bf 12}}[/tex]
