To calculate the arithmetic mean of a set of data we must first add up (sum) all of the data values. (x) and then divide the result by the number of values (n). Since. is the symbol used to indicate that values are to be summed (see Sigma Notation) we. obtain the following formula for the mean ( ̄x).
mean, the median and the mode and are calculated as follows. The mean − add up all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are. The median − is the middle number.

The expected value of a discrete random variable X, symbolized as E(X), is often referred to as the long-term average or mean (symbolized as μ). This means that over the long term of doing an experiment over and over, you would expect this average. For example, let X = the number of heads you get when you toss three fair coins.
