meanIn mathematics, a measure of the average of a number of terms or quantities. The simple arithmetic mean is the average value of the quantities, that is, the sum of the quantities divided by their number. The weighted mean takes into account the frequency of the terms that are summed; it is calculated by multiplying each term by the number of times it occurs, summing the results and dividing this total by the total number of occurrences. The geometric mean of n quantities is the nth root of their product. In statistics, it is a measure of central tendency of a set of data, that is one measure used to express the frequency distribution of a number of recorded events. |

By 'language embellished,' I mean language into which rhythm, 'harmony,' and song enter. But if you think I am hard on the boy I will try to give him a good word to-morrow -- that is, I mean if Beauty is better. I mean by this that I could think of Eustace without bursting out crying, and could speak to Benjamin without distressing and frightening the dear old man. |
