The average of the squares of the natural numbers from 1 to 11 is _________.
- A46
- B506
- C508
- D48
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The formula for the sum of the squares of the first n natural numbers is:
Sum=
6
n(n+1)(2n+1)
The average of the squares of the first n natural numbers is:
Average=
n
Sum
=
6
(n+1)(2n+1)
Given n=11:
Average=
6
(11+1)(2×11+1)
Average=
6
12×23
Average=2×23=46
Sum=
6
n(n+1)(2n+1)
The average of the squares of the first n natural numbers is:
Average=
n
Sum
=
6
(n+1)(2n+1)
Given n=11:
Average=
6
(11+1)(2×11+1)
Average=
6
12×23
Average=2×23=46
