Question

What was the mean?

305,000,000
515,000,000
510,000,000
4,028,000,000
889,000,000
32,000,000
Do I just add all the numbers then divide by 6 to get the answer?

Thank You all very much

Answer 1

yes you do!
At last somebody posting with an idea of how to do a question...

Answer 2

First of all to find the mean you add the whole set of data together and divide by how ever many pieces of data there is.

Step 1 : Add all the pieces of data together.

Step 2 : Divide the sum of all the pieces of data by how ever many pieces of data there is.

Example:

2 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 17

then 17 ÷ 4 = 4 r1

so in other words you are right!

Answer 3

add them all up. then get that sum(answer) and divide by 6...this is how u get the mean or in other words the average of all the numbers.

Answer 4

"Mean" can be referring either to the middle position or to the arithmetic average. Since the numbers appear to be in a random order, a mean position would be of no practical use.
Also since it is an even numbered set, there is no mean or middle position to select. Go with the calculation for the average.

Answer 5

Yeah, add them up and divide by six to get the mean....

Answer 6

Suppose a variable z assumes such values,
further suppose, x = z/10^6
then
μ(x) = μ(z)/10^6
=> μ(z) = μ(x) * 10^6
now as z assumes the values 305,000,000,.......
x assumes the values 305,515,510, .....
=> μ(x) = (305+515+510+4028+889+32)/6
=1046.5

=> μ(z) = 1046.5*10^6
=1046,500,000

Answer 7

Yes. That is the definition of "mean" (the fancy word for "average").

Answer 8

Yes, to get the arithmetic mean.

Answer 9

exactly that's how it's done
