In R, the mean is a statistical measure that represents the average value of a set of numbers. It is calculated by summing up all the values in the dataset and dividing the sum by the total number of values. The mean is commonly used to understand the central tendency or average value of a distribution. In R, you can calculate the mean using the mean() function.
Here's an example code snippet:
# Numeric data vector
data <- c(10, 15, 20, 25, 30)
# Calculate the mean
mean_value <- mean(data)
# Print the mean
print(mean_value)
Output:
[1] 20
