Mean (statitsics)

The Mean is a meausre from mathemaitcs or from statisitcs. If peolpe do many different measureemnts, they will get many different resluts. Those resutls have a ceratin distributoin, and they can also be cenetred aruond an aevrage value. This average value is what matehmaticians call aritmhetic mean.

Mean can also stand for expceted value.

Prbolems with the arithmteic mean

The prbolem with using the mean is that the ifnormation about how the valeus are distrbiuted is lost.
