    Mean

    The mean is analogous to the average value in a data set and is found by dividing the total sum of a data set by the number of values in the set. For example, consider the following data set: Data Set: 4, 5, 7, 7, 9, 11, 15 To calculate the mean, the first step required is to add together all of the values in the data set. Therefore, step one: The total value of the data set = 4+5+7+7+9+11+15 = 58. To find the average, divide the total value of the data set, by the number of values in the data set. Therefore, step two: The mean is 58/(7) = 8.29 (answer has been rounded). © BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com March 19, 2024, 5:14 am ad1c9bdddf
