As we see , more than half of the accounts are clustered in two classes between 1295 to 2137
From that we can identify the typical costumer by calculate the mean of these two classes

The mean account balance of a typical costumer is 1709.125 , and the value along which most of the account balance cluster is 1721.5

A set of data has only one mean 4. The mean is useful measure for comparing two or more populations 5. The arithmetic mean is only measure of central tendency where the sum of the deviations of each value from the mean will always be zero
