How to Find the Mean As the Given Number

The mean of a given set of numbers is considered the mathematical average of these numbers. The mean is often used to determine things such as the average score among a group of test takers, or determining a grade average to use when grading individuals.

Instructions

    • 1

      Count how many numbers are in a given set of numbers. For example, in the set "28, 34, 22, 36, 44," there are five numbers in the set.

    • 2

      Add up the sum of all the numbers in the set. In this case, 28 + 34 + 22 + 36 + 44 = 164.

    • 3

      Divide the sum of the numbers in the set by the amount of numbers in the set. For this calculation, "164 / 5 = 32.8" is the equation. This is the mean of the given numbers.

    • 4

      Round the number to the nearest whole number if the result involves a repeating decimal. For this set, the mean when rounded is 33, as it's the closest whole number. Be sure to state that this is an approximation if you do this.
