Data Handling

Finding the mean (average) of a set of numbers and interpreting data — with an interactive exercise.

We find the mean (average) of a set of numbers.

Mean = (add all the values) ÷ (how many values). The mean of 4, 6 and 8 is (4 + 6 + 8) ÷ 3 = 18 ÷ 3 = 6.

Remember

  • Mean = total ÷ number of values.
  • Add first, then divide by how many.
