# pandas.Series.mean

Series.mean(*, axis=0, skipna=True, numeric_only=False, **kwargs)

  Return the mean of the values over the requested axis.

  Parameters:
    axis{index (0)}

      Axis for the function to be applied on. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.

      For DataFrames, specifying `axis=None` will apply the aggregation across both axes.

      Added in version 2.0.0.

    skipna bool, default True

      Exclude NA/null values when computing the result.

    numeric_only bool, default False

      Include only float, int, boolean columns.

    **kwargs

      Additional keyword arguments to be passed to the function.

  Returns:
    scalar or Series (if level specified)

      Mean of the values for the requested axis.
