1. We are given 12 bags of apples and the mean number of apples in each bag is 8. 2. The total number of apples in all 12 bags combined is calculated by multiplying the mean by the number of bags: $$\text{Total apples} = 12 \times 8 = 96$$ 3. Next, we find the total number of apples in the 11 bags shown in the table by multiplying each number of apples by its frequency and adding them: $$6 \times 1 + 7 \times 4 + 8 \times 2 + 9 \times 3 + 10 \times 1 = 6 + 28 + 16 + 27 + 10 = 87$$ 4. The number of apples in the 12th bag is the total apples minus the apples we already counted in the 11 bags: $$\text{Apples in 12th bag} = 96 - 87 = 9$$ Final answer: The 12th bag contains 9 apples.
