After you summed all the numbers, you'll have to divide the answer by the number of numbers summed, to obtain the final answer (mean, average).

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Well, the first step is add. The second step in calculating the mean is dividing the number of items in the data set. Hope this helped!
