No. A mean is another word for average. Can be negative, positive, or zero. As long as it adds 2 or more integers and divides it by the number of integers.

ill say a positive number
1, 2, and 3 are the first three positive integers, but you can't say that they're the first three positive numbers. If you try that, somebody is sure to come along and say "but what about 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 ?"The fact is, nobody can say what the first (lowest) positive 'number' is. Whatever number you name, no matter how small it is, there is always another one that's smaller and still positive.
As far as positive numbers are concerned, the additive inverse of a positive number is a negative number with the same magnitude (i.e. the additive inverse of 5 is -5). It would be wrong to simply say that "negative" and "additive inverse" are correct, because the additive inverse of a negative number is a positive number.
A number A is said to be greater than another number B is A - B is more than 0. If A is positive and B is negative, then A - B is always positive and so each positive number is greater than each negative number.
When their quotient has no remainder.
