Question

Find the average of the first 5 natural numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

☺️☺️

By inspection, the average of the first 5 natural numbers (1+2+3+4+5)/5=3 (arithmetic average), which conveniently just happens to also be the median average. If there is enough variability in the range of data about an average, the average may not mean much and in certain cases may actually be misleading.

Answer 2

Answer:

The average of n natural numbers =n+1/2

the average of the 5 natural numbers =5+1/2

=5+1/2

=6/2

=3

so, the average of the first 5 natural numbers =3
