no -- are you thinking of the median?

the mean is just the average

for example, in this set

1 4 4 4 5 6

the mean is 4, but one observation is smaller than the average and two observations are larger.

Does the mean always have half of the observations on either side of it?

No, the mean does not always have half of the observations on either side of it. The mean is a measure of central tendency that can be influenced by extreme values, leading to a skewed distribution where more observations may fall on one side of the mean than the other. In a perfectly symmetrical distribution, the mean would be at the center, with an equal number of observations on either side, but this is not the case for skewed distributions.


The Value which has half of the observations above it and half the observations below it is called?

The median is the value in the middle when data is arranged in ascending order such as (1 2 3 4 5) 3 is the median. half of the observations, (4 & 5) are above it and half of the observations, (1 & 2) are below it. Thus median is your answer. :)
