To find the sum of a set of numbers, you can use this formula: ∑ = (x)(x+1)/2 That is..... The sum = (The number of samples)(The number of samples + 1)/2 Example: What is the sum of all numbers between 500 and 1000? Assuming that we do not include 500 or 1000 in our answer, we have 498 numbers to add up. Let's put that into the formula.... ∑ = (498)(498+1)/2 ∑ = (498)(499)/2 ∑ = (248,502)/2 ∑ = 124,251 The Answer is 124,251
