Question

What is the average (Arithmetic Mean) of the numbers: 2, 4, 5, 0, 9, 10, and 12?

• A. 5
• B. 6
• C. 7
• D. 8

Hint:

To find the average, sum all the values and divide by the total number of values.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The numbers are: 2, 4, 5, 0, 9, 10, 12. 
Step 1: Find the sum of the numbers: \[ 2 + 4 + 5 + 0 + 9 + 10 + 12 = 42 \] 
Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of values (7 values): \[ \text{Average} = \frac{42}{7} = 6 \] Thus, the average is 6.
