What is the mean in math terms?

Answer 1

Mean refers to the average of a group of numbers.

To find the mean, you add the numbers together and divide by the amount of numbers in the group.

For instance, find the mean of 1, 2, 3

Add the numbers together.

1+2+3=6

3 numbers were in the original set of numbers so divide by 3

6/3=2

The mean is 2.

Answer 2

The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
