For discrete distributions, suppose the variable X takes the specific value x with probability P(X=x)
Then add together x * P(X = x) for all possible values of x.
For continuous distributions, suppose the probability distribution function of the variable X is f(x).
Then the mean is the integral of x*f(x) with respect to x, taken over all possible values of x.
