But there are no 'x-bar' values in the question. How do i fill them in?

As written, the summation you have in the denominator is identically zero. If you move the parenthesis inside the summation then you are good to go. Although, looking it over again, the numerator needs to be fixed too. Should read
Thanks for the correction; I'll edit my earlier post.
