Answer:

First, add the numbers in the data set. Then, divide the sum by the number of numbers. The quotient is the mean.

I hope this helps!

You have to add all the numbers together then divide by the amount of numbers. For example,
1. 3, 5, 8, 4
2. 3+5+8+4= 20
3. 20 divided by 4 = 5
4. The mean is 5
