Even numbers are 2,4,6,8,10,….
Average
= sum of elements/ no of elments
Now we will see the sum of elements:
Sum of first 2 even numbers: 2+4= 6= 2(2+1)
Sum of first 3 even numbers: 2+4+6= 12=
3(3+1)
Sum of first 4 even numbers: 2+4+6+8=20= 4(4+1)
Sum of first 5 even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10 =
30 = 5(5+1)
Sum of first n even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10+. .
. . . n numbers= n(n+1)
Now we will see average:
Average of first 2 even numbers= (2+4)/2
= 6/2
=3
Average of first 3 even numbers= (2+4+6)/3
= 12/3
=4
Average of first 4 even numbers=
(2+4+6+8)/4
= 20/4
=5
Average of first 5 even numbers= (2+4+6+8+10)/5
= 30/5
=6
Average of first n even numbers=
(2+4+6+8+10+ . . . . . n numbers)/n
= n(n+1)/n
=n+1
Since from above formula we can write
directly as below:
Average of first 2 even numbers = n+1 = 2+1= 3
Average of first 3 even numbers = n+1 = 3+1=4
Average of first 4 even numbers = n+1 = 4+1=5
Average of first 5 even numbers = n+1 =
5+1=6
WHY ZERO IS NOT INCLUDED?
