To find the mean of the numbers 4, 5, 8, 2, 3, and 8, you follow these steps:
-
Add all the numbers together: \( 4 + 5 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 8 = 30 \)
-
Count how many numbers there are: There are 6 numbers.
-
Divide the total sum by the count of the numbers: \( \text{Mean} = \frac{30}{6} = 5 \)
Therefore, the mean of the numbers is \( 5 \).
