What is the average of the integers from 5 to 36? Here we will show you how to calculate the average of the integers from 5 to 36.
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 36, we need to divide the sum of the integers from 5 and 36 by the total number of integers from 5 to 36. 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 36 by using a formula where a is the low number of 5 and b is the high number of 36:
Sum = ((b - a + 1) ÷ 2) × (a + b)
Sum = ((36 - 5 + 1) ÷ 2) × (5 + 36)
Sum = (32 ÷ 2) × (41)
Sum = 16 × 41
Sum of Numbers = 656
Step 2) Calculate Total Number
Next, we calculate the total number of integers from 5 to 36. To calculate the total number of integers, we calculate the difference between 5 and 36 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 36:
Total = b - a + 1
Total = 36 - 5 + 1
Total Number = 32
Step 3) Calculate the Average
Now we have both pieces needed to calculate the average of the integers from 5 to 36. 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 = 656 ÷ 32
Average = 20.5
