What is the mean of the following data values?23, 79, 81, 10, 62A.82B.71C.62D.51

1. ### Break Down the Problem

To find the mean of the data values, we need to:

1. Add all the data values together.
2. Divide the total by the number of data values.

2. ### Relevant Concepts

The mean (average) can be calculated using the formula: $\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of data values}}{\text{Number of data values}}$

3. ### Analysis and Detail

1. Sum of the data values: $23 + 79 + 81 + 10 + 62 = 255$

2. Number of data values: There are 5 data values (23, 79, 81, 10, 62).

3. Calculating the mean: $\text{Mean} = \frac{255}{5} = 51$

4. ### Verify and Summarize

The calculation involved adding all the values correctly, and I divided the resulting sum by the number of values. The total confirmed is correct.

Final Answer

The mean of the data values is 51. Thus, the correct option is D. 51.
