Find the mean of the first six natural numbers.
Solution
The first six natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
The mean of the first six natural numbers
= `( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 ) / ( 6 ) `
= `( 21 ) / ( 6 ) `
= 3.5

i.e., if each observation is divided by a non-zero number, then the mean is also divided by it.
