What is Population Mean?
The population mean (denoted by mu) is the arithmetic average of all values in a complete population. Unlike the sample mean, which estimates the population parameter from a subset, the population mean represents the true central tendency when you have data for every member of the population.
Population Mean Formula
Formula:
mu = (Sum of all Xi) / N
Where Xi represents each value in the population and N is the total population size.
