As a verb: to indicate or refer to a particular thing or notion.

As an adjective: to be unwilling to share or give things.

As a noun in math, the mean is another term for what we usually call the average.

The mean is easily found by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the total count, as in :

11, 27, 31, 56, 80

The mean is found to be :

205 ( the sum of all numbers ) / ( divided by ) 5 ( the total count of the numbers in the list ) = 41. [ The mean number of the whole list is 41. ]
