What is the average of the integers from 5 to 158? Here we will show you how to calculate the average of the integers from 5 to 158.
To calculate the average of any set of numbers, you divide the sum of the numbers by the total numbers in the set (Sum/Total).
Therefore, to calculate the average of the integers from 5 to 158, we need to divide the sum of the integers from 5 and 158 by the total number of integers from 5 to 158. Here are step-by-step instructions:
Step 1) Calculate Sum of Numbers
First, we calculate the sum of all the integers (whole numbers) from 5 to 158 by using a formula where a is the low number of 5 and b is the high number of 158:
Sum = ((b - a + 1) ÷ 2) × (a + b)
Sum = ((158 - 5 + 1) ÷ 2) × (5 + 158)
Sum = (154 ÷ 2) × (163)
Sum = 77 × 163
Sum of Numbers = 12551
Step 2) Calculate Total Number
Next, we calculate the total number of integers from 5 to 158. To calculate the total number of integers, we calculate the difference between 5 and 158 and then add 1. Here is the formula and the math. Once again, a is the low number of 5 and b is the high number of 158:
Total = b - a + 1
Total = 158 - 5 + 1
Total Number = 154
Step 3) Calculate the Average
Now we have both pieces needed to calculate the average of the integers from 5 to 158. We calculate the average of the integers by dividing the Sum of Numbers from Step 1 by the Total Number from Step 2. Here is the math and the answer:
Average = Sum of Numbers ÷ Total Number
Average = 12551 ÷ 154
Average = 81.5
