The average of 13 numbers is 8. If each number is multiplied by 7, then what will the new average be:

The correct answer is
56

Average Property Explained

A key property of averages states that if every number in a dataset is multiplied by a constant value, the average of the dataset is also multiplied by that same constant.

Calculating the New Average

Let the original average of the 13 numbers be Aoriginal. We are given that Aoriginal = 8.

Each number is multiplied by a constant, k = 7.

According to the property of averages, the new average, Anew, is calculated as:

$ A_{new} = A_{original} \times k $

Substituting the given values:

$ A_{new} = 8 \times 7 $

$ A_{new} = 56 $

Therefore, the new average will be 56.
