. We're sorry about the hassle.
Good approach which doesn't require us to find the sum of all the terms, or even the number of terms.
Could be explained slightly clearly, by saying that all of the terms could be paired up.
thanks for your suggestion... will do it next time :D
Not saying anything about how the number of terms will affect the result. Otherwise OK
Why did you take ( 1 2 3 + 9 8 7 ) / 2 = 5 5 5 ? How does this deal with "even integers"?
Ya! i have made the same mistake. But the answer will be same.
I think it may be (124+986)/2=555
primeiro vou ver qual o total de números que eu tenho: ------> 987 - 123 = 864
total = 864 + 1 = 865
agora vou descobrir quantos numero pares eu tenho nesse intervalo: visto que 1 até 10 temos 5 números pares, utiliza-se esse racicínio para obtermos a quantidade
quantidade = 479 números pares
somatória = 2 4 7 9 ( 1 2 3 + 9 8 7 )
Média = q u a n t i d a d e s o m a t o ˊ r i a = 5 5 5
The even numbers between 123 to 987 are : 124 , 126 .......... 984 , 986 . Let us consider 124 as A & 986 as B The arithmetic mean = /frac{ 124 + 986 }{ 2 } So the answer is 550
how the answer is 550
find thhe no: of terms using the a.p's nth term formula and then use the summation formula 555 :)
Classic approach
the no. of numbers= (987-123)+1=865 get the mean term= 865/2=432.5or 433rd term a 433=123+(433-1)1 a 433=123+432 a_433=555 mean=555
Flawless
Primeiramente verifico quantos números são divisíveis por dois de 1 até 986, são 493. Depois verifico quantos números são divisíveis por 2 de 1 até 123, são 61. Logo diminuo 987 por 61 e obtenho 432 números divisíveis por dois de 123 até 987. Depois é só fazer a soma de todos esses números e então obtenho 239,760 e então divido por 432 obtendo 555, que é a média desejada.
as the range is [123,987],as even number(1st term=124,last term=986,d=2),
by using an arithmetic formulae,
Tn=a+(n-1)d 986=124+(n-1)2 986-124=2n-2 2n=986-124+2 n=864/2=432
so there are 432 terms,so for the mean,find the sum of the 1st 432 terms, =432/2 x (2(124)+(431)2) =239760
so for the mean, =239760/432 =555
Easy way 987+123=1110÷2=555
Series of all even integers from 123 to 987 is an arithmetic progression. Hence the A.M of all elements of this series = first term + last term/2 . That is (124+986)/2=555
Between 124 and 986 are (986-124)/2 = 431 even numbers. You can write a finite arithmetic sum which is (431(124+986))/2 which gives us the sum of all those even numbers, 239,205. Then you divide that by the number of even numbers and get 555.
This is a arithmetic mean: 124+126+128......986. 124+(124+2)+(124+2*2)+......+986. a=124,d=2,n=481. Therefore,s=n/2[a+l] where l is the last number of the series. mean=s/n.This implies that mean=[a+l]/2. mean=[124+986]/2 =1110/2 =555.
124+987=1110 mean = 1110/2 = 555
Mean= sum of N numbers divided by N
even numbers from 123 to 987 is from 124 until 986. Sum=N(124+986)/2
Mean=(124+986)/2=1110/2=555
it is just (123+987)/2=555
_The Mean = Sum of the Integers / Numbers of the integer _
Then, Mean = 2 1 2 3 + 9 8 7 = 2 1 1 1 0 = 5 5 5
srry there have a mistake.. Here The all integers is in A.P. So, The mean of first number and last number of the A.P. is the mean of full A.P. series
The mean of all numbers is the same as the mean of only the even numbers. Since 1 2 3 + 9 8 7 = 1 1 1 0 , adding all numbers in between will give you some multiple of 1110. However, we are adding 2 numbers to get 1110, so to find the mean we divide by 2 to get 5 5 5
There are 432 even numbers begining from 124 ending at 986 with a common differnece of 2..giving a sum of 239760.On dividing with 432 we get the answer as 555
Disastrous approach if applied in exams

Very easy ,
The even integers from 1 2 3 to 9 8 7 is 1 2 4 , 1 2 6 , 1 2 8 . . . . , 9 8 4 , 9 8 6 .
Lets Consider 1 2 4 is A and 9 8 6 is B
so the Arithmatic Mean is 2 A + B
And we got 2 1 1 1 0 = 5 5 5
