When working with a large data set, it can be useful to represent the entire data set with a single value that describes the middle or average value of the entire set. In statistics, that single value is called the central tendency and mean, median and mode are all ways to describe it.o find the variance in a data set, subtract each number from the mean, and then square the result. Find the average of these squared differences, and that is the variance in the group. In our original group of five servers, the mean was 99.
