Question

What does it mean when u cant find the mean of a set of numbers?

Answer 1

Another word for mean is the "average", your goal is to find the average of the following data set, it's pretty easy, you just have to add up all the numbers in the data set and divide it with the total numbers in the data set.

For example:

Find the mean of the following data set:

4, 1, 8, 5, 7, 3

Mean: 4 + 1 + 8 + 5 + 7 + 3 = 28

then we divide 28 with 6 since there are 6 numbers in the following data set.

Mean: 4 + 1 + 8 + 5 + 7 3 = 28/6 = 4.6

We get the final answer of 4.6!

Answer 2

The mean or better known as the average is all of the numbers combined and then divided by how many numbers there were. You should be able to find the mean of any set of numbers. There might be a mistake in the calculations some where.
