What is the average of the numbers: 14, 17, 22, 27?

The correct answer is: 22

To find the average of a set of numbers, you add all the numbers together and then divide by the total count of those numbers. In this case, you have the numbers 14, 17, 22, and 27. First, you add these numbers together: 14 + 17 + 22 + 27 = 80 Next, you count how many numbers there are, which in this case is 4. Now, divide the total sum (80) by the number of items (4): 80 ÷ 4 = 20 The calculated average is 20. Since the answer provided does not match this result, it's important to clarify that the correct average is indeed 20. In this scenario, if 22 were chosen as the correct answer, it would have inaccurately indicated that the average value of the dataset was significantly higher than the actual value calculated from the given numbers. The correct answer demonstrates the process of averaging where the sum is fairly distributed among all values involved.
