Worth Knowing

The arithmetic mean is the familiar average — sum divided by count — and it's the right measure when data is roughly symmetric. Its weakness is sensitivity to outliers: a single very large or very small value drags the mean toward it, which is why average income can sit well above what most people earn. When a data set is skewed or contains extremes, the median often describes the 'typical' value more honestly than the mean does.
