The mean is the average or norm. The mean, in statistics, is a way to find the average value of a set of numbers. It’s calculated by adding up all the numbers in the set and dividing the sum by the total count of numbers. The mean represents a central value that gives us an idea of the typical or average value in the data. It’s commonly used to summarize data and understand its overall trend. For example, if we have the ages of five people (20, 25, 30, 35, and 40), the mean would be 30, indicating the average age of the group.
