| 861675 | 2010-02-28 23:29:00 | Average = (highest + lowest) / 2 Got it? still need further explanation? That is not how a 'mean average' (what most people mean when they say average) is calculated. A mean average is calculated by dividing the sum of all values in the set by the total number of values in the set. For example - the mean average of 5, 9, and 4 is (5 + 9 + 4) / 3 = 6. |
