To find the mean score, you need to add up all the scores and divide by the total number of scores.

Total score = 72 + 80 + 74 + 68 + 65 + 66 + 72 + 70 + 65 + 80 + 75 = 747

Number of scores = 11

Mean score = Total score / Number of scores = 747 / 11 ≈ 67.9

Rounded to the nearest tenth, Jennifer's mean score is 67.9, which is closest to option A, 71. Therefore, the answer is A) 71.
