Mean

The mean is the average of all numbers and this is also called arithmetic mean. Mean can be calculated by adding all of the numbers in a set and then dividing the total count of numbers. For example, the mean of the numbers 2, 3, 7 is 4 therefore, 2+3+7=12 and 12 divided by 3 (there are three numbers) and the answer is 4.

To find the mean of a set of n number, x1, x2, x3........xn add the numbers in the set and divide the sum by n.

Mean (x) = \(\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+......+x_n}{n}\)

= \(\frac{∑x}{n}\)

The greek letters ∑(called sigma) represents the sum of the numbers.


Example:

Find the mean of 2, 7 and 9
Add the numbers: 2 + 7 + 9 = 18
Divide by how many numbers (i.e. we added 3 numbers): 18 ÷ 3 = 6
So, the mean is 6
