Understanding the Mean

The arithmetic mean is the most common type of average. It's calculated by adding all numbers in a dataset and dividing by how many numbers there are.

How to Calculate the Mean

Mean = (Sum of all numbers) ÷ (Count of numbers)

Example Calculation

For the numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

  • Sum = 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30
  • Count = 5 numbers
  • Mean = 30 ÷ 5 = 6
