Take the 411 and divide it by 50. This gives you 8.22 which is the average. Remember, with averages you add up all of the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers you added? Well here they tell you that you added up 50 numbers and got 411. So you divide 411 by 50 to get the average. So, any number above the average (8.22) is your answer

Their sum tells you nothing about the internal structure of the group.
All you know is their sum, and by definition, their average.

Use the definition of "average", as follows.Add all the numbers up. Call the result "sum". Then count how many numbers there are, and divide "sum" by that number. In this particular case, the interval between any two consecutive numbers is the same (an arithmetic sequence); in this case, you can use the following shortcut: the average is simply the number in the middle. (And if there are an even number of numbers, take the average between the two numbers in the middle.)
Add all the numbers together. Then divide by how many numbers there were originally. That is the average.
The mean average of a set of numbers is the sum of the numbers divided by how many of them there are. If there are 8 numbers with a sum of 2464, their mean average is 2464 ÷ 8 = 308.
Average= Sum of numbers divided by how many numbers there are. So, Sum of numbers = 9+23+32=64 Average = 64/3=21.33
The "mean" of a group of numbers is their "average". It doesn't tell you what the numbers are, or even how many numbers there are.
