What is the average of odd numbers from 21 to 86? Here we will show you how to calculate the average of odd numbers from 21 to 86.
To find the average of the odd numbers from 21 to 86, we first calculate how many odd numbers there are from 21 to 86. Then, we calculate the sum of odd numbers from 21 to 86. And finally, we divide the sum by the number of odd numbers to get the average.
The range is from 21 to 86, and the odd numbers within that range are from 21 to 85. Therefore, the first odd number in the sequence is 21, and the last odd number in the sequence is 85.
Step 1) Calculate the total number of odd numbers from 21 to 86
Here we calculate the total number of odd numbers from 21 to 86 by entering the first and last odd number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
tot = (last - first + 2) ÷ 2
tot = (85 - 21 + 2) ÷ 2
tot = 66 ÷ 2
tot = 33
Total odd numbers from 21 to 86 = 33
Step 2) Calculate the sum of odd numbers from 21 to 86
To calculate the sum of odd numbers from 21 to 86, you enter the total odd numbers (tot) from Step 1 and the first odd number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
sum = (tot ÷ 2) × (2 × first + (2 × (tot - 1))
sum = (33 ÷ 2) × (2 × 21 + (2 × (33 - 1))
sum = 16.5 × (42 + 64)
sum = 16.5 × 106
sum = 1749
Sum of odd numbers from 21 to 86 = 1749
Step 3) Calculate the average of odd numbers from 21 to 86
Almost done! Now we can calculate the average of odd numbers from 21 to 86 by dividing the sum of odd numbers from Step 2 by the total odd numbers from Step 1. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
Average = sum ÷ tot
Average = 1749 ÷ 33
Average = 53
Average of odd numbers from 21 to 86 = 53
