To find the average of the numbers 10, 8, 7, 10, 9, 9, 10, and 9, you first add them together and then divide by the total number of values.
-
Add the numbers:
\(10 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 9 = 72\) -
Count the number of values:
There are 8 values. -
Divide the sum by the count:
\(\frac{72}{8} = 9\)
So, the average is 9.
