The average (arithmetic mean) is the sum of the values divided by the number of values.

Example : 5, 9, 10

Their sum is 5+9+10 = 24 and there are 3 numbers

The average is 24/3 = 8

In math mean is what?

In Math, mean is another way of saying average. If a question asks you to find out the Mean of a set of numbers, it wants you to find the average. To work out the mean (average), you just need to add all the numbers in the setup and then divide by the number in the set. For example, if I had the numbers 3, 5, 6, 2, and 9, I would add them all up and then divide by 5, because there are 5 numbers. So, 3+5+6+10+59=83 83/5=16.6 So the mean, or average of this set of numbers is 16.6.
