What is the simple average of the following numbers: 1,4,4,7,8,9,9,10,11,12,20,24?

The correct answer is: 10

To determine the simple average of a set of numbers, you first need to find the sum of all the numbers and then divide that sum by the total count of the numbers. In this case, the numbers provided are: 1, 4, 4, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 12, 20, 24. First, we add these numbers together: 1 + 4 + 4 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 20 + 24 = 119. Next, count how many numbers there are in the set, which totals 12. Now, to find the average, divide the total sum by the number of values: 119 ÷ 12 = 9.91666... When rounded to the nearest whole number, this averages approximately 10. Thus, the simple average, when rounded correctly, indeed results in 10. Hence, this value is correctly identified as the average of the given set of numbers.
