To find the mean (also called the average) of a set of numbers, follow these simple steps:

  1. Add all the numbers together.
    Example: For the numbers 4, 7, and 10, add them up:
    4 + 7 + 10 = 21

  2. Count how many numbers there are.
    In this example, there are 3 numbers.

  3. Divide the sum by the number of numbers.
    So, 21 ÷ 3 = 7

The mean is 7.

Formula for the mean:

Mean=Sum of all numbersNumber of numbers\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of all numbers}}{\text{Number of numbers}}Mean=Number of numbersSum of all numbers​
