To find the mean of a certain set of numbers we need to add all enteries together and then divide by how many numbers you have.
In our case we do:
Example Question #2 : Mean
Karen wants to get an average of 92% at the end of the semester in her class. She has 1 test left to take before the semester is over to raise her average. If she recieved an 88%, 87%, 95%, and 93% on her tests what does she need to recieve on her last test to obtain the 92% average?
93%
95%
100%
97%
97%
For this question we need to set up an equation to find the mean, set it equal to our desired mean of 92 and solve for our missing test value.
From here we perform algebraic procedures to simplify the equation
Example Question #3 : Mean
Clara recieved 10 apples on Monday, 9 apples on Tuesday, and 5 apples on Wednesday. What was the average number of apples she recieved?
To solve this problem we use the equation to find the mean. We add all entries and then divide by the number of entries we have. It is as follows:
Example Question #4 : Mean
On her past five tests, Julie scored 
The mean is the same as the average. To find the mean, use the following formula:
Example Question #1 : Mean
The following stem and leaf plot illustrates the number of baseball cards owned by a group of friends. What is the average number of baseball cards that each individual owns?
First, write out the individual values found within this stem and leaf plot to figure out how many values there are.
Now, finding the mean is the same as finding the average. Recall how to find the average:
Thus, the mean number of baseball cards owned is found by the following:
