MySQL’s built-in AVG() computes the arithmetic mean — the sum divided by the count. That is the right default for many questions, but it is not always the right measure of central tendency.
MySQL offers three different approaches to extending the SQL capabilities with the default product you download and install.

The one-sample Z-test determines whether a sample mean differs significantly from a known population mean when the population standard deviation is also known. It is the appropriate test when the population parameters are established — quality control benchmarks, national averages, long-run process measurements — and you want to evaluate whether a new sample is consistent with them.
