Answer:
To find the mean of a data set, you need to add all the values together, then divide the sum by the number of terms in the set.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example say the set is:
1 2 3 4 5
Add all the values together:
[tex]1+2+3+4+5=15[/tex]
Now divide by the number of terms (each separate number). There are 5 terms:
[tex]\frac{15}{5}=3[/tex]
3 is the mean of the set.
