Some Important Properties of Average Calculations

1. Adding or subtracting the same number from each value in a data set does not change the average. 2. Multiplying each value in a data set by the same constant results in a new average that is equal to the original average multiplied by that constant. 3. The average of the sum of two data sets is equal to the sum of the averages of each individual data set.

Some Important Properties of Average Calculations

1. Some Important Properties of Average Calculations. Numbers that are added or


subtracted to each set of numbers, then the average count of the set of numbers is
equal to the average of the original set of numbers added to or subtracted from the
numbers added or subtracted.
Let's prove this trait.
Suppose the set of numbers is:
x ¿
X1, X2, X3.......Xn so X= 1+ x ¿
2+ ¿ x3+¿ ∙∙ ∙∙∙ x
n

Suppose the number added or subtracted is a, then the new set of numbers is
X1± a, X2± a, X3± a,.......Xn ± a

The average calculation is:

( x 1 ± a ) + ( x 2 ±a ) + ( x 3 ± a ) + … ..(x n ± a)
X New =
n

It must be proven that new x =( x 1 ± a )

Evidence

( x 1 ± a ) + ( x 2 ±a ) + ( x 3 ± a ) + … ..( x n ± a)
X new =
n
( x ) + ( x2 ) + ( x3 ) + ….. n(±a)
= 1
n
( x ) + ( x2 ) + ( x3 ) + ….. n(±a) n(± a)
= 1 + =x+a
n n
2. The number of each number of a set of numbers multiplied by a constant, then the
calculated average of a new set of numbers equal to the average of the set of constants
from that constant
Suppose the set of numbers is: x1, x2, x3.......xn
x ¿
Then 1+ x 2+ ¿ x3+¿ ∙∙ ∙∙∙ x
¿ n

Suppose that each number from the collection is increased by the constant c, then the new set
of numbers is:
cx1, cx2,cx3....,cxn
cx ¿
so x new = 1+ cx ¿
2 +¿cx 3+¿ ∙∙∙∙ ∙cx
n

will evidense x new = c x


cx ¿
evidense x new = 1+ cx 2 +¿cx 3+¿ ∙∙∙∙ ∙cx
n
¿
n

= c ¿¿¿ = c x
3. X numbers describe a set of numbers, also Y depicts a set of other numbers of equal
numbers, then the average (x + y) = average X + average Y
Proof:
Suppose X is a set of numbers consisting of x1, x2, x3.......xn and y is a set of numbers
consisting of y1, y2, y3.......yn then x + yes is a set of numbers consisting of x1, x2, x3+
y1, y2, y3.......yn xn
x=x x ¿ 2 +¿ x3+ ¿∙ ∙∙∙∙ x
1+ n
¿
n
y= y y 2+¿ y ¿
3+¿ ∙∙ ∙∙∙Y
1+ n

X+ Y= ( x 1 + y 1 ) +¿ ¿

3+¿ ∙∙ ∙∙∙ x

n n

= X+ Y

4. If each member of a set of numbers is subtracted from the calculated average of the
set of numbers, the sum of the deviations of each number member from the average
count is always zero.
Proof
Suppose the set of numbers is x1, x2, x3.......xn and the average count is; x1- x , x2- x,
x3-x.......xn – x
the amount = (x1- x) , (x2- x), (x3-x).......(xn – x)
= x 1+ x ¿ 2+ ¿ x3+¿ x −nx=nx−nx =0 ¿
n

A short way to calculate the average count


When we work with large numbers or data arranged, sometimes we need a long time
to calculate the average count.
Below are given a number of shorter ways to calculate average tidung, both for data
that have not been arranged or data arranged.
Average data calculation is not arranged
n
(x 1−M )
1. If , x x ∙∙∙ ∙∙ x is a set of numbers, the average calculation isx=M + ∑
2, 3 n
i=a n
........................1

Where M is the calculated arithmetic mean.


n
( x 1−M )
evidance: x=M + ∑
i=a n

( x 1−M ) + ( x 2−M ) + ( x 3−M ) +… .+ ( x n−M )


=M +
n

( x 1) + ( x2 ) + ( x3 ) + … .+ ( x n) nM
=M+ −
n n
( x 1) + ( x2 ) + ( x3 ) + … .+ ( x n)
=M+ −M
n

( x 1) + ( x2 ) + ( x3 ) + … .+ ( x n)
=
n

Suppose we have numbers 50,75,84,60,66.

50+75+84+ 60+66 335


so x= = =67
