Do all measurements have a number?

Yes, all measurements have a magnitude and a unit of measurement. If you don't see a number, the magnitude is understood to be one, unless the units are plural, since that indicates more than one. For example, the sentence "I live miles from here." does not contain a measurement because no number is given or implied. "I live a mile from here." contains the measurement of 1 mile. In the sentence, "The distance is nine.", nine is not a measurement because it has no unit of measurement (meters, miles, etc.). However, units of measurement are optional when the magnitude is zero, unless you're talking about temperature, and the units are not kelvins.

What is the average for the following set of measurment?

To calculate the average of a set of measurements, you sum all the individual values and then divide that total by the number of measurements. For example, if you have the measurements 5, 10, and 15, you would add these together (5 + 10 + 15 = 30) and then divide by the number of measurements (3), resulting in an average of 10. If you provide the specific set of measurements, I can help you calculate the average.

What is the standard formula for calculating the mean for a set of measurements?

Add all of the measurements together and then divide that sum by the number of measurements to get the mean. Example: (2,2,3,5,7,9). 2+2+3+5+7+9= 28. Then 28 divided by 6 (the number of terms) = 4.666 or 4 2/3
