Average

Average refers to a typical or representative value within a set of data. It is calculated by summing all values in the set and dividing by the number of values. The term can also describe something that is ordinary, commonplace, or neither particularly good nor bad. The calculation provides a central tendency, offering a summary of the overall magnitude of the values considered. It can also be considered the expected outcome. However, the Average can be influenced by outliers, and may not always accurately represent the entire distribution.
