mean score
Central performance value
A mean score is an average calculated by adding all scores together and dividing by the number of scores.
The term appears frequently in educational testing, research, and statistics: The mean score on the exam was 72 out of 100.
It differs from median score, which identifies the middle value when scores are ranked.
