Explanation:
Mean is defined as (sum of values)/(number of values).
The five values can be anything, as long as they add up to 125, because then the mean will be: 125/5=25.
25,25,25,25,25 will do (obviously), but also:
1,1,1,1,121
The second example, by the way, is a good illustration of why the mean is not always a good measure, if you want to say something about a collection of data.
