To calculate the mean of the set of numbers, you follow these steps:
1. **Add all the numbers together**:
\( 1 + 5 + 6 + 8 = 20 \)
2. **Count how many numbers are in the set**:
There are 4 numbers in this set.
3. **Divide the total sum by the count of the numbers**:
\( \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Sum}}{\text{Count}} = \frac{20}{4} = 5 \)
Therefore, the mean of the set of numbers \( 1, 5, 6, 8 \) is \( 5 \).
