A mean is a numeric quantity representing the center of a collection of numbers and is intermediate to the extreme values of a set of numbers. There are several kinds of means (or "measures of central tendency") in mathematics, especially in statistics.
Mean, median, and mode. Mean, median, and mode are different measures of center in a numerical data set. They each try to summarize a dataset with a single number to represent a "typical" data point from the dataset. Mean: The "average" number; found by adding all data points and dividing by the number of data points.
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes.

Definition of. Mean. more ... The Arithmetic Mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers. To calculate it: • add up all the numbers, • then divide by how many numbers there are. Example: what is the mean of 2, 7 and 9? Add the numbers: 2 + 7 + 9 = 18.

Glossary of mathematical jargon. The language of mathematics has a vast vocabulary of specialist and technical terms. It also has a certain amount of jargon: commonly used phrases which are part of the culture of mathematics, rather than of the subject.
The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count. Example 1: What is the Mean of these numbers? 6, 11, 7. Add the numbers: 6 + 11 + 7 = 24. Divide by how many numbers (there are 3 numbers): 24 / 3 = 8. The Mean is 8.
