This example demonstrates the geometric meaning of the arithmetic mean, constructing the position of the mean through a semicircle and perpendicular lines; involves core concepts like arithmetic mean, continuity, trigonometric functions, stochastic processes, trapezoids, and power functions; construction highlights include commands/objects like Point, Semicircle, Midpoint, OrthogonalLine, Mirror, Intersect, Segment; suitable for high school mathematics teaching to understand the intuitive representation and geometric properties of the arithmetic mean.
