How do you calculate the mean for a set of data?

• Add the numbers in the data set together and dividing the sum by the number of data pieces in the set.

• Place the numbers in the data set in order from least to greatest and find the middle value. If there is an even number of pieces of data, find the numerical average of the two middle values.

• Place the numbers in the data set in order from least to greatest and identify the number (or numbers) that occur most frequently.
