No, because the average is all of the numbers added up and divided by the number of numbers. For example: 25,40, and 55 add up to 120. When divided in this case, the mean is 40. But: Say you have 70,90, and 101 when added it comes to 261. When divided, the answer is 87. Since 87 is not one of the values, the mean is not always equal to a value in the data set.

Can the mean be greater than the greatest value in the data set?

No, the mean cannot be greater than the greatest value in a data set. The mean is calculated by summing all the values and dividing by the number of values, which means it will always fall within the range of the data set. Therefore, the mean will always be less than or equal to the maximum value.

For a distribution always mean exists?

No, not always. It depends on the type of data you collect. If it is quantitative data, you will be able to calculate a mean. If it is qualitative data, a mean can't be calculated but you can describe the data in terms of a mode.
