#13#

Explanation:

Mean is just a fancy word for average. To calculate the mean, we add all the numbers in the data set together, and then divide by the number of points.

So, let's solve the first part of that formula: #17+14+3+7+24=65#.

There are #5# data points, and #65/5# is 13. The average of #{17, 14, 3, 7, 24}# is 13. Nice job!
