averages

How do you figure out the average of 6 different values?

 

[Ted]

The average (or mean) of a set of numbers is found by adding up all the numbers and dividing by the number of numbers. In other words, in your situation add all six numbers and then divide by six:

The average of 4, 6, 2, 9, 10, and 3 is:

4+6+4+3+10+3
------------
      6


30      
--- = 5
6

Thus the average of those six numbers is 5.

of course it does depend on which average is required --mean,medium or mode?
