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):

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
