Column Means of Matrices Formed from Odd and Even Sequential numbers

Abstract

In this paper, an equation is formulated to obtain the means of each column of any m×n matrix of sequential order, where r and c are row and column of the matrix respectively. The elements used here is a sequence of positive even numbers or positive odd numbers that start with 2 or 3 respectively. The number of rows and columns must be greater than or equal to 3. The number of columns c can be greater than or equal to the index value i representing the column mean for which mean is required. The result shows that given a matrix formed from sequence of positive odd numbers or positive even numbers, the mean of ith column of such matrix can be generated using the equations proposed in this work.
