Given,
10 consecutive numbers starting with (n+1).
To find,
The arithmetic mean.
Solution,
The arithmetic mean of 10 consecutive numbers starting with (n+1) will be (n + 11/2).
We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.
According to the question,
10 consecutive numbers are starting with (n+1).
(n+1), (n+2), (n+3), ---, (n+10)
So, this series becomes an AP with the same difference between the two consecutive terms.
Common difference(d) = second term -first term
d = (n+2)-(n+1)
d = 1
The first term (a) = (n+1)
The last term (l) = (n+10)
Now, we know that the formula to find the arithmetic mean is given as follows:
Mean = Sum of all the observations/total number of observations
Sum of all observations = Sum of 10 terms of AP
The formula to find the sum of n terms in an AP is given as follows:
Sn = n/2 (a+l) where n is the number of terms
S10 = 10/2 (n+1+n+10)
S10 = 5(2n+11)
Mean = Sum of all the observations/total number of observations
Mean = 5(2n+11)/10
Mean = (2n+11)/2
Mean = (n + 11/2)
Hence, the arithmetic mean of 10 consecutive numbers starting with (n+1) is (n + 11/2).
