- What most people refer to as an 'average value' or central value is called a 'mean value' in Math.

- The arithmetic mean of the three data values {25,25,40} is 30.
  The mean = 30 is found by adding up 25+25+40 = 90 and dividing 90 by 3.

- To find the average value of a set of numbers it may help to put the numbers in order.
   You can rearrange a data set such as {30,40,20,10} to become {10,20,30,40}.

- The mean of the four data values {10,20,30,40} is 25.
  The answer 25 is found by adding up the four values 10+20+30+40 = 100 and dividing 100 by 4.
