The odd one out in the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 is 10. The pattern in the sequence is that each number is increasing by 2, except for 10, which breaks the pattern. The other numbers in the sequence follow a consistent pattern of increasing by 2, making 10 the odd one out.

An even number can be divided by 2 evenly. An odd number will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. 12 is an even number.
10 - 12 = -2
there are 3.... 7,9,11
The sum of all odd numbers, up to the odd number (2n-1) is n^2. So the sum of the first 1000 or 10^3 odd positive numbers is (10^3)^2=10^6 Now divide by 10^3 or 1000 since we have 1000 numbers so we have 10^6/10^3=1000 The mean of the first 1000 positive odd numbers is 1000 If you ask the mean of the odd numbers between, 1 and 1000, that is another problem, since there are 500 of them, the answer would be 500^2/500=500 Think of the mean of the odd numbers between 1 and 10, there are 5 of them and there sum is 25 so the mean is 25/5 or 5 **** in general, the arithmetic mean of the first n odd numbers is n^2/n or n. So that is why the number is 1000.
No -an odd and an odd equals even ( 5+3=8) -an even and an odd equals odd (2+3=5) -an even and an even equals even (4+6=10)
