Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the average (also known as the mean) of a set of values, it is necessary to first add up all of the values in the set, and then divide by the total number of values. In this way, taking the sum of the array values is a necessary step in calculating the average. The minimum and maximum values, however, can be found directly from the array without first adding up the values. The distribution of values refers to the spread or range of values in the array, and is not a single numerical value that can be calculated by summing the array.
