The sum of observations / the number of observations
With Python it is easy to calculate the mean of a list of numbers because there are libraries that contain functions to calculate the mean. For example, Python has a library, statistics, that will automatically compute the mean.
Wouldn’t it be nice, however, to be able to calculate the mean using basic mathematical steps? It is not difficult to…
