What you are trying to find is the average or mean. You find this by adding all the numbers in a set together and divide by the amount of numbers you added. Example: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3. Find the average (mean). Add all the numbers in the set together: 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 12 Divide by the amount of numbers you added: You added together 6 numbers: 12 ÷ 6 = 2. Mean of {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3} = 2.
The mean number of a number set is the same as the average number of a number set. It is the number that results from adding all of the numbers in a set together and then dividing by the amount of numbers you added together. For example, in the set 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, you add the five numbers together and get 15. There are five numbers in the set, so when you divide 15 by 5, you get 3. This is the mean number.
You are finding the mean of the set of numbers.
Usually you would take the mean of the two numbers. (Add them together and then divide by 2).
