Im so confused! sputters Henry. I collected all this data for my research project, but I dont know which numbers to pay attention to. The highest values? The lowest values? The most common value? Argh! Why dont you look at the arithmetic mean of all the values? suggests Raelynn. Finding the average score would be a good indicator of what the values look like in general. How would you advise Henry to go about finding the arithmetic mean?
a)  Add up all the individual scores, then divide the result by the number of scores.
b)  Figure out how far away each score is from every other one.
c)  Subtract the lowest score from the highest score, then multiply the answer by 2.
d)  Add the five lowest scores to the five highest scores, then divide the result by 2.
