Mean-

Is also known as the average in a set of data.

Example:

In your set of data, you have the numbers 1,2,3,5,6 and 7.

You add up all the digits:

1+2+3+5+6+7=24.

Then you subtract 24 by the highest number in your set of data:

24-7=37

add all the numbers that you have to find to the mean of and then divide them by the amount of numbers that there is.

For example:

1,2,3,4,5

the mean would be 1+2+3+4+5=15

then you divide 15 by 5 and your mean is 3

If you have a list of numbers,

5, 12, 15, 13, 3, 6,

You add them all together,

5+12+15+13+3+6 = 54

And divide the sum by the amount of numbers (5, there are 5 numbers in the list)

54 ÷ 5 = 10.8

10.8 is the mean number of 5, 12, 15, 13, 3, and 6

Add up the numbers and divide this total by the number of numbers.

For example, the mean of the five numbers 1, 4, 2, 6, 2 is:

(1 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 2) / 5 = 15 / 5 = 3.

You add all the numbers together and divide the answer by the amount of numbers that were added. Another name for the mean is the average.
