Description
The following piece of code produces a ClassCastException on runtime:
```
Img img = ArrayImgs.floats(1, 1);
FloatType mean = ops.stats().mean(img);
```
The method `ops.stats().mean(Img)` always returns an instance of DoubleType on runtime.
But the methods signature is wrongly typed, thats why the compiler accepts FloatType as return type.
The signature of this method should be fixed, such that an error is raised during compilation.

Research direction
Start at the ops.stats().mean(Img) entry point and compare its declared return type with the runtime DoubleType shown in the example. Use the provided FloatType assignment as the reproduction, then confirm that an incompatible return type is rejected at compilation.
