To find the mean, we need to add up all the scores and then divide by the total number of scores. Adding up all the scores gives us 82. There are a total of 11 scores, so we divide 82 by 11 to get the mean, which is approximately 7.45. However, none of the answer choices are approximately 7.45. The closest choice is C) 8, which is 0.55 more than the mean. Therefore, the best choice is C) 8.
