Another name for the 'mean' is the 'average'.
To calculate the mean of a bunch of numbers, add them all up, and
divide the big sum by how many numbers there are in the bunch.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, add all the values together and divide by the number of values in the set. Imagine 3 people donated money to red cross. Their names are Allisa, John, and Thomas. Allisa gave 20 dollars, John gave 35, and Thomas gave 20. Next, you add the amount of money they donated, which is 70. Then you divide 70, the amount of money, by 3, because thats the amount of people that donated. Then you get a mean of 23.
To put it simpler,
add the values.
then, add the amount of whatever carries that value, such as people.
after, you devide the value and the amount of people or etc.
when you finish, your mean will be what you have divided.
Another example would be this.
There are several whales out in the ocean. One is the Cuvier's beaked whales, which can swim as deep as 2,992 m. Another whale, named the sperm whale, can swim down to at least 1,000 m.
So, what is the mean?
Once again, first, we add the value, which in this case, is how deep the whales can dive. We then get 3992 m.
Next, we add the amount of whatever carries that value, which in this case are whales.
after, you devide the value by the amount of whales.
when you finish, you will get 1996 m.
Hope this helps!
