X (coordinate) arithmethtic average, linked variable arithmethtic average


Explanation:
ou bound à la place de linked

on parle en effet de bound / linked variables (variables liées ou dépendantes).

Bien sûr cel n'exclut nullement "dependant" qui est également parfaitement correct.

Tu trouveras les 3 en cherchant linked variable / bound variable / dependant variable sur Google

arithmetic mean of X, the independent variable


Explanation:
This refers to adding all the X's and then divided by the total number of X's. For example,if you have X1=5, X2=10, X3=12, then you AM, arithmetic mean=(5+10+12)/3=9
In English, the standard terminology is singular (X,variable) but in French it is plural (des X, variables)
