To calculate the mean, one must sum all the values in the data set and then divide by the number of values. The mean is particularly useful when dealing with continuous data that follows a normal distribution. It provides a balanced measure that incorporates every value in the data set, making it an accurate representation of the data when there are no extreme values, or outliers. For instance, in a study of social work clients’ income levels, the mean income could give a general idea of the average earnings in a community.
