Average
Averages:
Average = sum of elements / number of elements
Calculating the Avg for consecutive numbers
Method 1:
avg = (x1+xn ) / 2 where x1= first term , xn= last term in the series
Method 2: If [Link] terms odd
Avg = middle term
Method 3: If [Link] terms even
Avg = average the middle two terms in the series
Rules of Average
Here are some handy tricks for Average which will make your calculation faster and more
efficient with practice:
(1) If the value of each number is increased/decreased by the same value 'a', then the Average
of all numbers will also increase/decrease by 'a'.
(2) If the value of each number is multiplied/divided by the same value 'a', then the Average of
all numbers will also get multiplied/divided by 'a'.
