What Is Calculating The Mean
What is calculating the mean
Answer:
Mean, also known as the average, is calculated just by using two operations - addition and division. First, add all the numbers in the given data set then divide the sum by the number of digits found in the data set.
Example #1:
Given: 12, 9, 5, 6
Add the numbers
12 + 9 + 5 + 6 = 32
Divide the sum by 4 (since there were 4 given)
32/4 = 8
The mean/average is 8.
Example #2:
Given: 10, 12, 11
The given is 3 digits.
Tip: If the number of the given digits is odd, you can easily get the mean by arranging the numbers from smallest to largest or ascending order then getting the middle number since it would be the average. The result will be the same as to adding and dividing.
Ascending Order: 10, 11, 12
Mean (middle number) = 11
Checking:
10 + 11 + 12 = 33
33/3 = 11
The mean is 11.
