Answer :-

Arithmetic mean of 6 and -12 is -3.

Given :-

6 , -12.

To find :-

Mean of the data.

Solution :-

The numbers given to us are 6 and -12.

We are asked to find arithmetic mean (or) mean.

To find mean we will use the formula given below :-

 \boxed{\mathfrak{Mean = \dfrac{Sum \:  of  \: all \:  values (or) observations.}{Totals \:  number \:  of \:  all \:  values (or) observations.}} }

By applying the formula, We get :-

 \implies \sf \dfrac{6 , - 12 }{2}

\implies \sf \dfrac{6  + - 12 }{2}

\implies \sf \dfrac{ - 6 }{2}

\implies  \boxed{\purple{ \sf  Mean = - 3}}

Therefore, The arithmetic mean of 6 and -12 is -3.
