What is the sum of n natural numbers: 1+2+...+n?

If

S=1+2+\cdots+(n-1)+n

then we also have

S=n+(n-1)+\cdots+2+1

Pairing up the terms, we can find that

2S=(1+n)+(2+n-1)+\cdots+(n-1+2)+(n+1)

2S=(n+1)+(n+1)+\cdots+(n+1)+(n+1)

S consists of n terms, so there are n copies of n+1 in the sum 2S. Then we find an immediate closed form for the sum:

2S=n(n+1)\implies S=\dfrac{n(n+1)}2

ANSWER
Group A

Step by step explanation
I am bad at explaining things
If we want to find The group with the youngest age , we have to find the mean. The mean , means that we add up all the numbers ( the age) ,then divide them with how much number you added . For example, we add the age of group A 9+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+17+17+17+17+17+17+17+17+19+19+19+19+19+19=449
Than Count how many people are in group A , group A have 30 people that the number you will be dividing
So 449 divided by 30 is 14.966
That the average

The same go for group B
10+10+10+10+10+10+14+14+14+14+14+18+18+18+18+18+18+25+25+25+25+25+28+28+28+28+29+29+29+29=519

There 30 peoples in group B
519 divided by 30 is 19.7
So the Average of groupB is 19.7

Group a is 14.9 and group B is 19.7
Group A average is smaller than Group B that means ,The average of Group A is younger than Group B so the answer will be group a

Group A is the younger Group then group B
