how do u find the mean?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "mean" of a data set is just its average. An example may work better than a definition.  Let's suppose we have four test scores and we're trying to find their average.

Let's say the scores are 60, 75, 85 and 100.

I just add them up and divide the sum by the number of scores we have.

So

(60 + 75 + 85 + 100) / 4  = (320 / 4 ) = 80.

And that's their average.
