Average
An average or arithmetic mean of given data is the sum of the given observations divided by number of
observations. For example, if we have to find out the average of 10, 15, 25 and 30, then the required
average will be equal to
10+15+25+30 80
= =20
4 4

Similarly, average of 30, 10 and 50


30+10+50 90
= 3
= 3
= 30

Therefore, we can write


Sum of 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐒)
Average(A) =
𝑵𝒐.𝒐𝒇 𝑶𝒃𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 (𝑵)

Some Basic points


1. If all the numbers get increased by ‘a’, then their average must be increased by ‘a’.

2. If all the numbers get decreased by ‘a’, then their average must be decreased by ‘a’.

3. if all the numbers are multiplied by ‘a’, then their average must be multiplied of ‘a’.

4. If all the numbers are divided by ‘a’, then their average must be divided by ‘a’.
