Question : 62 [SSC CAPFs SI, CISF 2014]

The average of all the numbers between 6 and 50 which are divisible by 5 is

a) 28.5

b) 22

c) 30

d) 27.5

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1,

Average of two or more numbers/quantities is called the mean of these numbers, which is given by

$\text"Average(A)" = \text"Sumof observation / quantities"/\text"No of observation / quantities"$

∴ S = A × n

Numbers are : 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45

Sum = 220

Average = $220/8$ = 27.5

Question : 63

The average of n numbers $x_1 , x_2 , .... x_n$ is $\ov{x}$ . Then the value of $∑↙{i=1} ↖n $$(x_i - \ov{x})$ is equal to

a) n$\ov{x}$

b) $\ov{x}$

c) 0

d) n

Answer: (c)

Using Rule 1,

${x_1+x_2+…x_n}/n$ = $\ov{x}$

∴ $??{i=1}?n $$(x_i - \ov{x})$

= $(x_1 - \ov{x})$+$(x_2 - \ov{x})$+…$(x_n - \ov{x})$

= $({x_1+x_2+…+x_n})$ - n.$\ov{x}$

=n $({x_1+x_2+…+x_n}/n)$ - n.$\ov{x}$

= $n\ov{x} – n\ov{x}$ = 0
