The correct Answer is:
To find the average value and the root mean square (RMS) value of the numbers 1, 2, 3, -1, -2, and -3, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Average Value The average value (V_avg) is calculated using the formula: \[ V_{avg} = \frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{Total number of values}} \] 1. **List the values**: The numbers are 1, 2, 3, -1, -2, -3. 2. **Sum the values**: \[ \text{Sum} = 1 + 2 + 3 + (-1) + (-2) + (-3) = 1 + 2 + 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 = 0 \] 3. **Count the total number of values**: There are 6 values. 4. **Calculate the average**: \[ V_{avg} = \frac{0}{6} = 0 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the RMS Value The RMS value is calculated using the formula: \[ V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{\text{Sum of squares of all values}}{\text{Total number of values}}} \] 1. **Square each value**: - \(1^2 = 1\) - \(2^2 = 4\) - \(3^2 = 9\) - \((-1)^2 = 1\) - \((-2)^2 = 4\) - \((-3)^2 = 9\) 2. **Sum the squares**: \[ \text{Sum of squares} = 1 + 4 + 9 + 1 + 4 + 9 = 28 \] 3. **Count the total number of values**: There are still 6 values. 4. **Calculate the RMS value**: \[ V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{28}{6}} = \sqrt{\frac{14}{3}} \approx 2.16 \] ### Final Answers - Average Value: \( V_{avg} = 0 \) - RMS Value: \( V_{rms} \approx 2.16 \)
