Your answer is correct. The process to find the mean involves adding up all the numbers in the set and then dividing the sum by the total number of values.

Here's how you can calculate it step-by-step for the given set of numbers:

Step 1: Add all the numbers together.
12 + 8 + 9 + 9 + 12 + 10 = 60

Step 2: Count the total number of values in the set.
There are 6 numbers in the set.

Step 3: Divide the sum (60) by the total number of values (6).
Mean = Sum of numbers / Total number of values
Mean = 60 / 6 = 10

Therefore, the mean of the given set of numbers is 10.
