Mean is another word for average, to get it add all the numbers together then divide it by the amount of numbers, so add all those number together then divide it by 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you add all the numbers together and divide it by how many numbers there are sry

SO i can be sure its "-4" (::

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well a much less convenient way is to find out what number all of them could level to so they're even, for example 7 + 12 + 8 = 9 + 9 + 9, so the mean is 9 in that case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or to check you can take -4 and add it together 5 times and it should equal the sum of your original 5 numbers
