     50 ## Usage
     51 
     52 ```javascript
     53 var mean = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/degenerate/mean' );
     54 ```
     55 
     56 #### mean( mu )
     57 
     58 Returns the [expected value][expected-value] of a [degenerate][degenerate-distribution] distribution with constant value `mu`.
     59 
     60 ```javascript
     61 var v = mean( 10.0 );
     62 // returns 10.0
     63 
     64 v = mean( -0.5 );
     65 // returns -0.5
     66 ```
