Question

Can any one let me know how to finf the average?

Answer 1

Hi there...

Just to hopefully clarify what the previous respondant said:

Average = Sum of Scores/Number of Scores

So if you have the data set (list of scores):

1, 5, 6, 5, 10, 3

then to find the average you add up all the scores and divide by the number of scores in the list:

Average = (1 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 10 + 3) / 6 = 30/6 = 5

Hope it helps (^_^)

Answer 2

add up all the values, then divide this total by the number of values.

Answer 3

There are three different types of averages: Mean, median, & mode.

Mean average is where you add up all the numbers together and divide them by the number of numbers there were. That is the mean average. The median average is where you put all the numbers in ascending order and the median is the one closest to the middle. Mode average is where you take the most frequently used number. Mean average is the most popular and the most used. I hope I could help you.

Answer 5

im not sure what you were asking specifically..  hope this helps...

In mathematics, an average, or central tendency [1] of a data set refers to a measure of the "middle" or "expected" value of the data set. There are many different descriptive statistics that can be chosen as a measurement of the central tendency of the data items.

An average is a single value that is meant to typify a list of values. If all the numbers in the list are the same, then this number should be used. If the numbers are not all the same, an easy way to get a representative value from a list is to randomly pick any number from the list. However, the word 'average' is usually reserved for more sophisticated methods that are generally found to be more useful.

The most common method is the arithmetic mean, but there are many other types of averages.[2]The average is calculated by combining the measurements related to a set and to compute a number as being the average of the set
