This should be correct unless you are doing the Mean Value Theorem in which there is a value between the interval for the derivative of the function so that it equals the average value of the function aka:
 
f'(c) = [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a)

I'm sorry for the confusion. It seems like I did it wrong to begin with. 
 
Average value = [f(5) - f(0)]/(5 - 0) = (-25e^-25)/5 = -5e^-25
