Solution

The correct option is D 6.2
Mean = $\frac{S u m o f a l l d a t a p o i n t s}{N u m b e r o f d a t a p o i n t s}$

Thus, to find the mean number of items, we need to divide the sum of all items in the box by the total number of items.

Thus, average number of items in Julie's lunch box = $\frac{8 + 17 + 3 + 2 + 1}{5}$ = 6.2
