💡 Analysis & Explanation
Concept of Whole Numbers
Whole numbers initiate from zero. Therefore, the first 13 whole numbers constitute the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 12}.
Summation Logic
The sum of the first 'n' natural numbers is n(n+1)/2. The sum of numbers from 1 to 12 is (12 × 13) / 2 = 78. Adding the zero does not change the sum (78 + 0 = 78).
Calculating Average
The average is the total sum divided by the number of elements. Thus, 78 ÷ 13 = 6.
Conclusion
The correct average is 6.
