Find the mean worksheets

What is on this worksheet

Students add up each set of five numbers and divide to find the mean, which is always a whole number.

• Find: Mean

You can change any of these settings above. Press "New problems" for a fresh set with the same settings, or pick Version A to Z to print different sheets for neighboring desks. The answer key always matches.

About mean, median, mode and range

Each set of numbers is built so every statistic has exactly one answer: there is a single mode that appears more than once, and the mean, median, mode and range are four different numbers. Choose whether the mean comes out as a whole number or with one decimal place.

Choose how many numbers are in each set (5 to 10). A mean with one decimal place needs 5, 6, 8 or 10 numbers. The numbers are not in order, so students have to sort them to find the median. The worked example shows each step for a different set.
