This math topic focuses on calculating the mean (average) of a given set of numbers using the arithmetic mean formula. It provides practice in setting up and solving equations for finding the average by summing the numbers and dividing by the quantity of numbers. Each problem presents different sets of three numbers, and students are required to apply the mean formula correctly to find the solution among multiple-choice answers. This basic statistical operation is a stepping-stone in the broader study of probability and statistics, particularly under the theme of mean, median, and mode.
