An 'average' in math is a form of central tendency. An average best describes what a group of numbers or letters' median is. Ex: A set of numbers - 2, 14, 6 , 4, 35, 7 First: You have to put the numbers from least to greatest. Ex: 2, 4, 6, 7, 14, 35 Then you count of from beginning and end towards the middle number which is between 6 and 7. In these cases you add the two numbers together and divide by the number of numbers which is 2. (6+7)/2 13/2 6.5 is your average in the set of numbers.
(6 + 12 + 10 + 4 + 3) ÷ 5 = 7 Therefore, 7 is the average of the five numbers given in the question.
To find the average, or the arithmetic mean, you add up all the numbers and divide the sum by the number of numbers. So, for example, the average of 6, 7, 9, 12 is (6+7+9+12)/4 =34/4 = 8.5
The median of a set of numbers is the middle one (if there are an odd number of them) or the mean average of the middle two (if there are an even number of them). The dataset {4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11} has 14 elements, so the median is the mean average of the 7th and 8th numbers. The 7th and 8th numbers are 7 and 7, thus the median is (7 + 7) / 2 = 7.
(6 + 7)*2 - 2 = 13*2 - 2 = 26 - 2 = 24
