8 | A | What is the mean of the numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10? | To find the mean (or average) of the numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, we follow two simple steps.
First, we add all the numbers together:
2 + 4 = 6
6 + 6 = 12
12 + 8 = 20
20 + 10 = 30
The total is 30.
Next, we count how many numbers we have. Here, there are 5 numbers.
Now, we share the total equally among the 5 numbers ... |
