    The document discusses key topics in statistics and probability theory including measures of central tendency and properties of the arithmetic mean. Specifically, it will cover the arithmetic mean and how it has two important properties: 1) the mean is the unique value that minimizes the sum of the deviations from the data points, and 2) the sum of squared deviations of the data points from the mean is minimized. It provides an example calculation of finding the overall mean height from data on the mean heights of students in three class sections.

    ii. The sum of squared deviations of the s from the mean, , is a minimum.
    In other words, , where a is an arbitrary value other
    than the mean.
