Average IconWhat is Average?

Average is defined as:
“The result obtained by adding several quantities together and then dividing this total by the number of quantities; the mean.”

The foundation of the mean lies in statistics, within the normal distribution – it illustrates that all population samples lie either below, at, or above the population mean. A uniform normal distribution has 50% of the population above the mean and 50% below; as such, this mean is indeed our average! How does this help? Well, it allows us to calculate accurate averages for aspects of the human body.

A Step Further…

The average human varies from race-to-race and is widely influenced by the inherent traditions and cultures of a particular region. As averages vary widely through the specific geographies, our information and statistics try their best to reflect and inform you as thoroughly as possible.
