The Devil's Arithmetic, based on the book by Jane Yolen, is about a girl who is transported from modern-day to 1940 Nazi-occupied Poland. The meaning of the title, comes from the numbers on the clothing that the prisoners in the concentration camp. The characters in the book put meaning to the numbers to help make them a little more personal, to identify better with them. They talk about how the numbers were a part of the Devil's Arithmetic. The Devil, because they knew what was going on, and if they weren't saved, would be killed. Arithmetic because of the numbers.

What are the properties of arithmetic mean?
The arithmetic mean, also known as the average, is calculated by adding up all the values in a dataset and then dividing by the total number of values. It is a measure of central tendency that is sensitive to extreme values, making it less robust than the median. The arithmetic mean follows the properties of linearity, meaning that it can be distributed across sums and differences in a dataset. Additionally, the sum of the deviations of each data point from the mean is always zero.
Is an arithmetic mean a weighted mean or a weighted mean an arithmetic mean?
