To find the mean of the populations of the regions, you will sum all the populations and then divide by the number of regions.
The populations are:
- Region 1: 20,200
- Region 2: 14,500
- Region 3: 18,800
- Region 4: 9,300
- Region 5: 2,200
Now, let's calculate the sum of these populations:
\[ 20,200 + 14,500 + 18,800 + 9,300 + 2,200 = 64,000 \]
Next, we divide the total by the number of regions (which is 5):
\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{64,000}{5} = 12,800 \]
Therefore, the mean population of the regions is 12,800.
If this option is not in the responses you provided (13,000, 14,500, 18,000, 65,000), double-check the calculation or the provided numbers, as the calculations for summing and finding the mean are correct based on the data given.
