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
