| Resumo: | The concept of simple arithmetic mean is very used in people's daily lives, although it often comes with the understanding of its meaning. The objective of this study is to analyze the knowledge acquired about arithmetic mean by students of a Mathematics Degree course graduastes from public schools. This investigation has a qualitative approach with field research methodology and use of questionnaires, observation and activities on this object of study. The analysis of these instruments indicates that the research subjects understand the concept of average as a number obtained by some arithmetic operations; others, as a representative measure of a data set. Based on this research, it is possible to indicate that apprehending the arithmetic mean object requires understanding the meaning of its concepts and a deep view of its properties. Keywords: Statistic; Statistical Education; Simple Arithmetic Mean |
