1275.

Why the formula works:

The formula for the first n integers comes from the following idea.

Make a list of all n integers, let us just say 5 to make it easy to see.

1,2,3,4,5

Now write them again , but start with 5.

5,4,3,2,1

Now write them one on top of the other

1,2,3,4,5

5,4,3,2,1

If you add those two lists, column by column, each column has a total of 6.

5+1, 4+2, 3+3 etc.

And since it was the numbers 1-5, there are 5 columns.

So we have 5x6 as a total so far. But we counted each number twice sine we wrote them twice. So now to fix that we need to divided by2 and we have 5x6 divided by2=15

The general formula for the first n integers starting with 1 is

n(n+1)/2

So in this case it is (50)(51)/2=51x25=1275

What is the mean of the first 100 integers?

The mean of the first 100 integers can be calculated by finding the sum of these integers and dividing by the total count. The sum of the first 100 integers (from 1 to 100) is ( \frac{100(100 + 1)}{2} = 5050 ). Dividing this by 100 gives a mean of ( \frac{5050}{100} = 50.5 ). Therefore, the mean of the first 100 integers is 50.5.
