Sampling Surveys
The mean, often referred to as the average, is a measure of central tendency that is calculated by adding up all the values in a dataset and then dividing by the total number of values. This statistic provides a summary of the data, reflecting the overall level or trend within a set of survey responses. It serves as a key indicator in descriptive statistics, helping researchers to understand the general characteristics of the data collected.
