What is the average of the following set of numbers: 8, 4, 6?
You asked:
Find the arithmetic mean of the following data: \(8, 4, 6\)
MathBot Answer:
The arithmetic mean (often referred to as the average, arithmetic average, or the mean) is a value indicating the typical value of the elements in a given data set. It is computed by summing the numbers in a data set and dividing that number by the amount of numbers in the set.\[\overline{x} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{x_i}\] where \(x_i\) represents the individual values and \(n\) represents the number of values in the data set.
The arithmetic mean of \(8, 4, 6\) is \(6\).
