Let us use the mathematical functions in Excel.

                 Perform the following steps to use the mathematical functions:
                 In the given example, when you type the formula =PRODUCT(B3:C3) in cell D3 and press the Enter key,
                 price of the pencils appears in the cell D3. Using the AutoFill feature, we can calculate the prices of the
                 Geometry Boxes and Pens in cells D4 and D5.

                 Statistical Functions

                 Excel offers a wide range of statistical functions to analyse data effectively. Here are some commonly
                 used statistical functions in Excel:
                        Functions                             Purpose                                 Example

                                           It returns the largest value  from the  values    Input: =MAX(4,16,12,9)
                 Max(range)                passed as argument or values in the given
                                           range.                                            Output: 16
                                           It returns the smallest value from the values     Input: =MIN(4,16,12,9)
                 Min(range)                passed as argument or values in the given
                                           range.                                            Output: 4
                                           It returns the average of the numbers passed      Input: =AVERAGE(12,3,6)
                 Average(range)
                                           as argument or given numbers in a range.          Output: 7
