Best Answer

The mean is the same thing as average.

To get the mean you add together all of the numbers in the set.

Then, you divide by the total amount of numbers that were added to get the mean/average.

Example:

Find the mean of 5, 4, 6, 3, and 2.

5+4=9+6=15+3=18+2=20

1 2 3 4 5 (There are a total of five numbers in the set.)

5 4 6 3 2 - Numbers of the set.

20 (Sum of all numbers in the set)

Divided by:

5 (Amount of numbers in the set)

equals:

4

The mean (or average) of 5, 4, 6, 3, and 2 is 4.
