Population Mean

The population mean is a way to find the average of a set of data when considering the entire group you're studying. Imagine you want to know the average height of everyone in a town. You would add up all the heights and then divide that total by the number of people. This average height is the population mean. It gives a single value that represents the typical trait or measurement of the whole population, helping us understand the overall tendency or central point of the data set.
