Question

Find the mean of the first six even natural numbers?

Answer 1

Compute the required mean:

According to the definition of natural numbers,

Natural numbers are real numbers, which only contain positive integers, i.e. $1,2,3,4,5,6.....$ with zero, fractions, decimals, and negative numbers excluded.

Since, The first six even natural numbers are : $2,4,6,8,10,12$.

We know that the formula of the mean can be given as:

$\text{Mean=}\frac{\text{Sum of the abservations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}$

Mean calculation:

$Mean=\frac{2+4+6+8+10+12}{6}=\frac{42}{6}=7$

Hence, the mean is $7$.
