definition
Arithmetic Mean: The mean of a number of observations is the sum of the values of all the observations divided by the total number of observations.
`"Mean" = "Sum of all observations"/"number of observations"`.
notes
Arithmetic Mean:
- Arithmetic mean is one of the representative values of data.
-
The mean of a number of observations is the sum of the values of all the observations divided by the total number of observations.
-
It is denoted by the symbol x, read as `bar x`.
-
The average or Arithmetic Mean (A.M.) or simply mean is defined as follows:
`"Mean" = "Sum of all observations"/"number of observations"`
Example
Two vessels contain 20 liters and 60 liters of milk respectively. What is the amount that each vessel would have if both share the milk equally?
The average or the arithmetic mean would be
= `"Total quantity of milk"/"Number of vessels"`
= `(20 + 60)/2` litres
= 40 litres.
Thus, each vessel would have 40 liters of milk.
Example
Ashish studies for 4 hours, 5 hours, and 3 hours respectively on three consecutive days. How many hours does he study daily on average?
The average study time of Ashish would be
`"Total number of study hours"/"Number of days for which he studied" = (4 + 5 + 3)/3` hours = 4 hours per day
Thus, we can say that Ashish studies for 4 hours daily on an average.
Example
A batsman scored the following number of runs in six innings: 36, 35, 50, 46, 60, 55. Calculate the mean runs scored by him in an inning.
Total runs = 36 + 35 + 50 + 46 + 60 + 55 = 282.
To find the mean, we find the sum of all the observations and divide it by the number of observations.
Therefore, in this case, mean = `282/6` = 47.
Thus, the mean runs scored in an inning is 47.

Following table shows the points of each player scored in four games:
| Player | Game 1 | Game 2 | Game 3 | Game 4 |
| A | 14 | 16 | 10 | 10 |
| B | 0 | 8 | 6 | 4 |
| C | 8 | 11 | Did not play | 13 |
Now answer the following questions:
1) Find the mean to determine A’s average number of points scored per game
2) To find the mean number of points per game for C, would you divide the total points by 3 or by 4? Why?
3) B played in all the four games. How would you find the mean?
4) Who is the best performer?
