Question

Find the mean of the following.

First eight odd natural numbers

Answer 1

Step 1: Listing the first eight odd natural numbers

First eight odd natural numbers are $1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15$

Step 2: Finding the mean of first eight odd natural numbers

$\begin{array}{rcl}Mean& =& \frac{sumofallvalues}{Numberofvalues}\\ & =& \frac{1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15}{8}\\ & =& \frac{64}{8}\\ & =& 8\end{array}$

Hence, the mean of first eight odd natural numbers is $8$
