Programming With Mathcad Prime 10

The document provides steps to calculate the average (mean) of values in a list using a for loop in Mathcad. It instructs the user to: 1) Define a for loop that sums the terms in a list matrix using a local assignment operator. 2) Create a new line after the for loop to calculate the mean by dividing the sum by the number of terms using a local assignment operator. 3) Define a 5x1 matrix variable containing numerical values to apply the averaging calculation to.

Step 6: Enter the expression to sum the terms in the List matrix as a line in the body of the for

loop

Type sum in the placeholder of the body of the for loop

Insert a Local Assignment operator

Type sum+List[count to complete the definition of sum

Step 7: Calculate the average (mean) as the sum divided by the number of terms

Use the right arrow key to move the blue cursor to the right until it extends to the full height of the for
loop template. You should only need to hit it twice. If necessary, you can place the cursor outside of the
for loop with your mouse.
