üldarv

üldarv is a term of Estonian origin that translates to "total number" or "grand total". It is most commonly used in statistical and demographic contexts to refer to the aggregate count of individuals or items within a given population or dataset. For example, one might encounter "Eesti rahvaarv, üldarv" which would mean the total population of Estonia.

The term emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the count, implying that all relevant entities have been included. It is distinct from partial counts or subtotals, serving as the final, encompassing figure. In data analysis, the üldarv is often the starting point for calculating proportions, averages, and other statistical measures. It is a fundamental concept in understanding the scale and scope of any collection of data.
