Question

fill in the blanks with <,> or =. if numbers are 3,4,5,6,2 average of these numbers ___ sum of these numbers

Answer 1

$\huge {\bold{\underline {Solution :}}}$

Average of the numbers =

$\mathsf {\frac {Sum \: of \: numbers} {Total \: numbers \: of \: terms }}$

Average number = $\mathsf {\frac {3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 2} {5}}$

Average number = $\mathsf {\frac {20} {5} }$

Average number = 4

Now,

Sum of numbers = 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 2

Sum of numbers = 20

Hence,

It is clear that the sum of numbers is greater than the average number.

Average of there numbers < sum of numbers.
