OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Hey, remember when I showed you how to get the mean of variable A yesterday, you're applying the same thing, but with B now

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

The mean is the average |dw:1454806235825:dw|

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Take all the quantities add them then divide about the amount of quantities there are

OpenStudy (logan13):

No this is my last time too do this i need a lot of help

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Do what I just said

OpenStudy (logan13):

so 6 first or 1

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What do you mean

OpenStudy (logan13):

do i star with 1 or 6

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Not sure what you mean, but add all the points by looking at the y axis, so \[8+3+6+...\] then divide by the amount of points they gave you

OpenStudy (logan13):

i see

OpenStudy (logan13):

8+3+6+5+2+3+1

OpenStudy (logan13):

@Astrophysics

OpenStudy (logan13):

@AihberKhan

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

theres 2 twice

OpenStudy (logan13):

8+3+6+5+2+3+1+2

OpenStudy (logan13):

then i divide it by 4

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

why 4

OpenStudy (logan13):

just guessing

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You have to do divide by the amount of points they gave you

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

so 8

OpenStudy (logan13):

oh okay

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

That gives you the average (mean)

OpenStudy (logan13):

3.75 but i dont have any room to put that

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

They want it in one decimal place

OpenStudy (logan13):

yes so would i round it too 3.7

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

No, 3.8

OpenStudy (logan13):

oh okay thanks i got more

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

you have 3.75 so you round up, if it was less than 5 you round down
