□ raisins

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the number of raisins

Add all the values: \( 5 + 9 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 11 \).
Calculation: \( 5+9=14 \), \( 14+5=19 \), \( 19+5=24 \), \( 24+7=31 \), \( 31+11=42 \).

Step2: Divide by the number of brands

There are 6 brands. So, mean \( = \frac{42}{6} \).
Calculation: \( \frac{42}{6} = 7 \).

Answer:

7
