This paper proposes several new statistical bounds for graph energy derived from the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. Using inequalities involving the arithmetic, geometric, and generalized means, along with variance and standard deviation, we establish both upper and lower bounds for $E(G)$. These statistical bounds capture not only mean relationships but also eigenvalue variability, offering more flexible and accurate estimates than conventional deterministic inequalities. The approach integrates tools from inequality theory and spectral graph theory, with applying weighted means and Jensen-type inequalities. We also conjecture based on numerical evidence that the energy-to-geometric mean ratio converges to a constant value for large Erd\"{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graphs. A detailed analysis of path graphs demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed bounds, offering improved estimates.
