To find the mean of the first fifty natural numbers, we first need to calculate the sum of the first fifty natural numbers and then divide that sum by 50.
The sum of the first fifty natural numbers can be calculated using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:
Sum = n/2 * (first term + last term)
where n is the number of terms in the series, and in this case, n = 50.
Plugging in the values for the first term (1) and the last term (50) into the formula, we get:
Sum = 50/2 * (1 + 50)
Sum = 25 * 51
Sum = 1275
Now, to find the mean of the first fifty natural numbers, we divide the sum by the number of terms:
Mean = Sum / Number of terms
Mean = 1275 / 50
Mean = 25.5
So, the mean of the first fifty natural numbers is 25.5.
