Average

Average
𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠
●​ Average formula = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑜. 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠

= (X1 , X2 , X3 ,……, Xn ) / n

Combined average
●​ If x₁ and x₂, respectively represent the means of the n₁ and n₂
observations, then the combined average or combined mean is

(𝑛1𝑥1+𝑛2𝑥2)
Combined average = 𝑛1+𝑛2

Different problems on average


●​ Batting average =
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑠 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑑
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑑

●​ Bowling average =
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑠 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑤𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑛

●​ Average of consecutive numbers =


𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 + 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
2

●​ Average speed =
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑛

For consecutive natural numbers


(𝑛+1)
●​ Average of first n natural numbers = 2

𝑛(𝑛+1)(2𝑛+1)
●​ Average of Square of first n natural numbers = 6
2
𝑛(𝑛+1)
●​ Average of cube of first n natural numbers = 4
For Consecutive Even Numbers
●​ Average of first n even numbers = (n+1)
2(𝑛+1)(2𝑛+1)
●​ Average of Square of first n even numbers = 3

●​ Average of cube of first n even numbers = 2n(n+1)2

For Consecutive odd Numbers


●​ Average of first n even numbers = n
(2𝑛+1)(2𝑛−1)
●​ Average of Square of first n even numbers = 3

●​ Average of cube of first n even numbers = n(2n2-1)

Important results
●​ If average of n observations is a but the average becomes b when one
observation is eliminated, then value of eliminated observation = n (a –
b) + b

●​ Average of n observations is a but the average becomes b when a new


observation is added, then value of added observation = n (b–a) + b

●​ We have n observations out of which some observations (a1, a2 , a3………) are


replaced by some other new observations and in this way, if the average
increase or decreases by b, then Value of new observations = a±nb

(In this formula, the signs of '+' and '–' depend upon the increment or
decrement in the average)

●​ If the average of n students in a class is a, where average of passed


students is x and average of failed students is y, then
𝑛(𝑎−𝑦)
Number of students passed = 𝑥−𝑦
