To answer this question I will use an example.
Data set: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.
First find the sum of all the numbers...so 10+20+30+40+50= 150.
Then you take the sum (150) and divide it by the number of numbers in the data set. So 150 divided by 5 (the number of numbers in this data set) = 30.
30= the mean of the above data set.
Finding the mean is pretty simple. :)

How do you find the average or mean in a set of data?
First, you add all of the numbers in the set together. Then, you divde the sum by however many numbers there are in the set of data. Your quotient is the average/mean.
Explain how to find the range of set of data?
The range = the difference between the highest and the lowest values in the data set. For example if I had a data set like this: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 50 is the highest number and 10 is the lowest number. 50-10= 40. 40= the range of the above data set.
How do you find the mean in a set of data?
take the max plus the min and divide the anser by to
Is it true that in large data sets the mean is always one of the data values?
No. Here's one set of data where the mean is not one of the values: a set of 250,000 numbers. 125,000 of them are "1", 125,000 are "3". The mean of this data set is "2", which is not among the data.
When is it misleading to use the mean as a descriptor of a data set?
It is misleading to use the mean as a descriptor of a data set when the median or mode would be more representative of the data set as a whole.
Whats the mean of a set of data and explain how to find it?
take the sum of all the numbers ∑xand divide it by the number of numbers in the data set. nor ∑x/n
How do you find a mean of a set of numbers?
to find the mean of a set of numbers you have to find the total sum of the data divided by the number of addends in the data.
Find the mean of the data?
The mean of a set of data is the sum of that data divided by the number of items of data.
How do you find the mean of the data?
Th find the mean of a data set, you add up all the values in the data set and divide this sum by the number of data values. For example, the mean for the data set 2, 5, 6, and 7 is given as 2 plus 5 plus 6 plus 7, which is 20. You divide this sum by number of values in the data set, which is 4 to get 5 as the mean.
Why it is useful to fiNd the meaN mediaN aNd mode of a set of data?
when there are extreme values in the data
How mean of a data set is always one of the data points in a set of data. Explain?
The mean of a set of data is the sum of all those data values, divided by the numbers of values in the set. For instance, if we had 1, 3 and 5, the mean would be (1+3+5)/3 = 3. The mean doesn't always have to be one of the data points in the set. For instance, if we had the data 1, 6, 7, 7, 8. The mean would be (1+6+7+7+8)/5 = 5.8, even though 5.8 isn't one of the values in the set.
Where can you find complete thermophysical data on most liquids?
To find the mean of a set of numbers you have to find the total sum of the data divided by the number of addends in the data. Why can't you find the mean of numerical data? One reason I can think of why you might not be able to find the mean of numerical data would be if there were missing data points.
How do you find the average or mean in a set of data?
First, you add all of the numbers in the set together. Then, you divde the sum by however many numbers there are in the set of data. Your quotient is the average/mean.
Why is it helpful to find the mean of a data set?
It is one of the key measures of a data set: it shows the value around which the observations are spread out.
Can you find the mean median of a set of data from a histogram?
You can estimate them both.
Can you find the mean or median of a set of data from a histogram?
You can estimate them both.
Can you use the mean to answer a statistical question explain?
You can use the mean to answer some statistical questions: it is a measure of the central tendency of a set of data. However, it is no good in identifying the maximum value of a set of data, for example.
