Question

Find the average of the following numbers:

24, 32, 59, 21, 19

The average of the above numbers is ___ (Type in the numerical answer).

Answer 1

There are a total of 5 entries given i.e. 24, 32, 59, 21 and 19.

To find the total of these entries we add up the numbers:

Total of entries = 24 + 32 + 59 + 21 + 19 = 155

Now, the formula of average is:

Average = $\frac{Totalofallentries}{Numberofentries}$

Substituting

Average = $\frac{Totalofallentries}{Numberofentries}=\frac{155}{5}=31$

Thus the average of the above set of numbers is 31.
