Averages

i- Average = Sum of quantities/ Number of quantities


ii- Sum of quantities = Average * Number of quantities
iii- The average of first n natural numbers is (n +1) / 2
iv- The average of the squares of first n natural numbers is (n +1)(2n+1 ) / 6
v- The average of cubes of first n natural numbers is n(n+1)2 / 4
vi- The average of first n odd numbers is given by ‘n’
vii- The average of first n even numbers is given by ‘n+1’
viii-
(n+1)
Average of 'n' multiples of any number = Number x
2

ix- The average of squares of first n consecutive even numbers is 2(n+1)(2n+1) / 3


x- The average of squares of consecutive odd numbers till n is (2n+1)(2n-1) / 3
xi- If the average of n consecutive numbers is m, then the difference between the
smallest and the largest number is 2(m-1)
xii- If the number of quantities in two groups be n1 and n2 and their average is x and y
respectively, the combined average is (n1x+n2y) / (n1+ n2)
xiii- The average of n quantities is equal to x. When a quantity is removed, the
average becomes y. The value of the removed quantity is n(x-y) + y
xiv- The average of n quantities is equal to x. When a quantity is added, the average
becomes y. The value of the new quantity is n(y-x) + y
xv- Average of cubes of first “n” even natural numbers = 2n ( n +1)2
xvi- Average of cubes of first “n” odd natural numbers = n (2n2 – 1)

xvii- Average of first ” n” whole numbers =


xviii- Average Speed = Total distance/Total Time = (d1+d2)/(t1+t2)
xix- When d1 = d2, Average Speed = 2S1S2/(S1+S2), where S1 and S2 are the speeds
for covering d1 and d2 respectively.
xx- When t1 = t2, Average Speed = (S1+S2)/2, where S1 and S2 are the speeds during
t1 and t2 respectively.
