By linearity of the integral, we can integrate each x k 3 x_k^3 separately to obtain 1 4 \frac{1}{4} . Thus the answer is 2018 × 1 4 = 504.5 2018\times\frac{1}{4}=\boxed{504.5} .

0 1 ( x 1 3 + x 2 3 + + x n 3 ) d x i = x 1 3 + x 2 3 + + x i 1 3 + 1 4 + x i + 1 3 + + x n \int_0^1 (x_1^3 + x_2^3 + \cdots + x_n^3)\,\mathrm{d}x_i = x_1^3 + x_2^3 + \cdots + x_{i-1}^3 + \frac{1}{4} + x_{i+1}^3 + \cdots + x_n Thus, the i i th integral will replace x i 3 x_i^3 with 1 4 \frac{1}{4} and we will be left with 2018 × 1 4 = 504.5 2018\times\frac{1}{4} = \boxed{504.5} .
