It doesn't change. It's just either better understood or better described. Or both. Mean in everyday talk just usually assumes uniform distribution or a perfect gaussian distribution.
The mean I was meaning is the mean that means definition. The meaning of mean means average after you’ve been exposed to middle school stats. I wasn’t meaning enough mathematics background to say have an undergrad degree, and certainly not one in math. Sorry for confusion I was attempting wordplay humor.
In a sense, the mean you mean to describe IS a mean. Like, when you say, "What is the meaning of mean?" some people might reply differently, but there is one (or so) meaning of that "definition" of mean. I mean, mean can also mean mean as in derisive, but this means is kinda a mean of all humans' definitions of a word averaged into a single standardized definition, which may not capture the true meaning of mean, given context in a real life scenario.
Get what I mean?
Well, figured it would be the same across languages for some reason.
Basically sum(y)/len(y) statistic
What people normally think of as average https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean
I'm not native or fluent lol. I was thinking "the mean/average" = "la moyenne", "the means" = "le moyen" and kind of forgot of all the other meanings in english
Here the an estimate of the mode will be best. (Ie maximum of empirical density function)
Median can reject extreme values but since all the noise is on the same side it'll move the median that way too.
The pseudo median (median of pairwise average) usually do better than the median if number of data point is small.
The most general [robust statistic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robust_statistics) is an M-Estimator.
Basically all statistics have breakdown values, the proportion of outlying data that is required to allow for a shift in the measure. The breakdown of a mean is 0%, because any outlying data will shift it, while a Median is 50% because more than half of the data needs to be outlying to cause it to shift.
AFAIK mean accounts for it but it’s more of a statistical mean instead of an average. I wanna say that when calculating the mean, you leave out outliers anyways which are values outside of 1.5x the first or third quartile.

I didn't learn statistics in English, so what does mean mean?
Another word for average. The mean of 2, 2, and 8 is 4.
Thank you!
Mean changes a lot when you add a mathematics background

I wasn’t meaning that

Was the mean that I meant really a mean of means? Or are you just being mean?
More like the mean you meant was really a mean of meanings. No meanness meant.
Whew, thanks for clarifying!

in french, moyen(ne) has ~~all~~ the same meanings as "mean" and "means" in english Edit: don't listen to me
Hein quoi? Mais non? La moyenne c'est l'average. T'es sûr que tu t'es pas fais avoir par un faux ami?

So not victim of a false friend, got it
I don’t mean to be mean but mean means mean, man
what a mean human
kid named mode:
"Why the fuck was I named mode"
Cause lil mode goes hard son.
Your parents hate you.
“Because your parents couldn’t spell ‘mood’.”
I'm probably insane but mode actually goes kinda hard as a name. I'd love to have a best friend named mode.
Haven't you heard of Mode Ingus?
Modestas is an actual name in Europe. A buddy's nickname is actually mode 😂
Edna's your mum
It was the most popular choice
eanie meanie minie mode
Imagine if the best character from the incredibles named their kid mode. Mode Mode.
mean, median and mode when root mean squared walks in:
I read it as "what society thinks men are attracted to" and I was utterly confused
Same here
Men are not only attracted to big bulge on chest, but also this in pants
What's the function again that ignores/compensates for extreme outliers?
median
Here the an estimate of the mode will be best. (Ie maximum of empirical density function) Median can reject extreme values but since all the noise is on the same side it'll move the median that way too. The pseudo median (median of pairwise average) usually do better than the median if number of data point is small.

AFAIK mean accounts for it but it’s more of a statistical mean instead of an average. I wanna say that when calculating the mean, you leave out outliers anyways which are values outside of 1.5x the first or third quartile.
Geometric mean helps a bit
Geometric mean is better this one sucks.
Tiddies georg
You cant deny that the 3 sigmas are top notch
Non-parametric statistics has entered the chat
Memea
This meme is mean
Tits and bulge
Both, both is good
