How Do You Find the Mean of a Data Set?

When we say 'mean', we could just say 'average' instead
So finding the 'mean' is the same as finding the 'average'
To find the mean, add up all the given values and then divide by the total number of values
Our data set has 8 values

1. The 'mean' is the same as finding the average of a bunch of numbers
2. So when we say 'mean', we could just say 'average' instead
1. Finding the 'mean' is the same as finding the average
2. To find the mean, add up all the given values and then divide by the total number of values
1. Count the number of data points to find what number we need to divide by
1. So that means that 8 is the number we'll need to divide by
1. Add up all the data points, then divide by the total number of data points, which we know is 8
1. The 'sum' is the result you get when you add numbers together
2. Add all the values together to get the sum
3. The sum of the data points is 311.4
1. We have 8 data points total
2. So now we need to divide the number we got when we added, 311.4, by 8 to get the mean
1. Now we just have to divide to find the mean!
1. 311.4 divided by 8 is 38.925
1. 311.4 divided by 8 is 38.925

Find the mean of the following data set: 46.4, 29.3, 48.2, 35.1, 46.4, 39.5, 41.3, 25.2
