1 The Mean
Mean
Definition
Also known as arithmetic average.
One of the simplest and most efficient measure of
central tendency.
It is obtained by adding the values in the distribution
and dividing the sum by the total number of values
It is denoted by µ (population mean) or x (sample
mean)

Solution:
5+2+1+3+3+8+6+7+4+1+2+6

µ=4
The average charge per month is 4.
Solution:
3.50 + 3.65 + 3.55 + 3.58 + 3.52

µ = 3.56
The mean running time of the samples is 3.56.
N = 3 + 3 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 17

The average of the aptitude score of 150 applicants is 56.7.
f d = 2 × 40 = 80
5 Get the sum of f d
Σf d = 330
6 Solve the mean using assumen mean formula
Σf d 330
x = AM + = 54.5 + = 56.7
n 150
(Note: Observe that the means obtained using
Methods 1 and 2 are equal.)
