Understanding the mean in research and what it represents
Mean is adding all the numbers and dividing by how numbers you have. Usually it is used to represent the quanity of a set of numbers.
descriptive statistics-quantitavely describe the main features of a collection of data. Descriptive statistics are distinguished from inferential.Statistics(or inductive statistics),in that descriptive statistics aim to summarize a data set,rather than use the data to learn about the population that the data are thought to represent.

In statistics, "mu" is often used to represent the population mean of a variable. It represents the average value of a given data set in the entire population.
In statistics, this is the symbol for the "Variance"
the mean is important in statistics because you will find out your average and can compare that mean to other things..
The mean is typically represented by the symbol ( \mu ) (mu) when referring to the population mean, and by ( \bar{x} ) (x-bar) when referring to the sample mean. These symbols are widely used in statistics to denote the average value of a set of data points.

MEDIANUse the median to describe the middle of a set of data that does have an outlier.Advantages:• Extreme values (outliers) do not affect the median as strongly as they do the mean.• Useful when comparing sets of data.• It is unique - there is only one answer.Disadvantages:• Not as popular as mean.
