Answer

$\dfrac{7}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Using the definition of the summation symbol, $\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^6 \dfrac{i-2}{2} $ evaluates to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{0-2}{2}+\dfrac{1-2}{2}+\dfrac{2-2}{2}+\dfrac{3-2}{2}+\dfrac{4-2}{2}+\dfrac{5-2}{2}+\dfrac{6-2}{2} \\\\= -1+\dfrac{-1}{2}+0+\dfrac{1}{2}+1+\dfrac{3}{2}+2 \\\\= \dfrac{7}{2} .\end{array}
