What do we want to understand is what is the average value of the usage in terms of the call duration for each user? So we got a data set, we will look into it and we would like to understand that what is the average consumption of a user? How many minutes they're consuming?

We want these kind of statistical techniques where we can understand the average or the central point by understanding the mean meeting and mode. So how do we do that? So for that we have to do some calculation. So here in this case, how we are going to calculate the average or a mean is we'll sum up all the different values, the data points here, and we'll divide it by the number…
