Question

50 people sponsor Paula and she raises a total of 180 for charity. What is the mean average amount sponsored in pounds

Answer 1

The mean is the average of the numbers.

It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.

For example: What is the Mean of these numbers?

6, 11, 7

Add the numbers: 6 + 11 + 7 = 24 
Divide by how many numbers (there are 3 numbers): 24 / 3 = 8The Mean is 8

Hope this helps :)
