Question

8,10,12,14,16find the average of the quantities

Answer 1

8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 divided by 5
=60/5
=12

Answer 2

Average :-

$\dfrac{\text{Sum\:of\:observations}}{\text{Number\:of\:observations}}$

Here, the observations are :

8, 10, 12, 14 and 16

☛ Sum of observations = 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16

= 60

☛ Number of observations = 5

Average = $\dfrac{60}{5}$

= 12

∴ The average of given data is 12

Extra information :-

Average is the number expressing the central idea of a given set of data.
