1) -6 3 -2 6 7 -3 -5 8

2) -17 32 -2 6 7 -3 -5 8

im not sure how to do this i know i need to add up but not sure if im right
1) 40
2) 80

Why are there spaces between some of the numbers? Please list them in column form.

i need to find the mean of each set of data i know to find the mean i add all the numbers , then divide by the total numbers that were added

1) would be divided by 8
2) would be divided by 7
but im not sure how to add up all these numbers

1)
-6
3
-2
6
7
-3
-5
8

2)

-17
32
-9
0
52
12
-14

Thanks. Now I can see the numbers more clearly.

1)
-6
3
-2
6
7
-3
-5
8

Positive numbers: 3 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 24

Negative numbers: -6 -2 - 3 - 5 = -16

24 - 16 = 8

8/8 = 1

Try number 2.

i got

32+0+52 + 12 = 96
-17 + -9 + -14 = -40
96 - 40 = 56
56 /8 = 7 as the mean

Right!

thanks so much i understand it better

To calculate the sum of a given set of numbers, you simply need to add them together. Let's go through each set of numbers you provided and find their respective sums.

1) To find the sum of the numbers -6, 3, -2, 6, 7, -3, -5, and 8, you can add them up as follows:

-6 + 3 + -2 + 6 + 7 + -3 + -5 + 8 = 8

Therefore, the sum of these numbers is 8.

2) To find the sum of the numbers -17, 32, -2, 6, 7, -3, -5, and 8, you can add them up as follows:

-17 + 32 + -2 + 6 + 7 + -3 + -5 + 8 = 26

Therefore, the sum of these numbers is 26.

So the correct sums are:
1) The sum of -6, 3, -2, 6, 7, -3, -5, and 8 is 8.
2) The sum of -17, 32, -2, 6, 7, -3, -5, and 8 is 26.
