Hey there!
The “average” is your “total” or your “mean” of a data set. To find out the average you have to ADD the total numbers in your data & DIVIDE it by the amount of numbers you have in your data.
EXAMPLE:
SET:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
EQUATION: 10 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 60 / 6
10 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 60 / 6
= 30 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 60 / 6
= 60 + 40 + 50 + 60 / 6
= 100 + 50 + 60 / 6
= 150 + 60 / 6
= 210 / 6
= 35
Thus, the mean is: 35
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
