Average Calculator

The average calculator computes the average of a given set of numbers. In mathematics, an average is a numeric value which is a single representation of a large amount of data. Average can be thought of as the mean value of a given data set.

What is an Average Calculator?

Average Calculator is an online tool used to find the average of the given numbers. The average is defined as the sum of all observations divided by the total number of observations. Average is also known as the arithmetic mean. To use this average calculator, enter values inside the bracket, separated by a comma.

How to Use the Average Calculator?

Follow the steps given below to calculate the average using an online average calculator:

• Step 1: Go to Cuemath’s online average calculator.
• Step 2: Enter the numbers in the input box of the average calculator.
• Step 3: Click on the "Calculate" button to find the average.
• Step 4: Click on the "Reset" button to clear the fields and enter new values.

How Does Average Calculator Work?

Mean, median, and mode are the three measures of central tendency. The mean is sometimes referred to as the average of the given data. The median should not be confused with the average. Average is widely used in several daily-life situations. For example, suppose a student is an athlete and wants to participate in a sport. By using the concept of average her coach can track the changes in her speed and energy levels. There are three steps that go into finding the average of certain observations.

1. The first step is to find the sum of all the given observations.
2. The next step is to count the number of the given observations to get the total.
3. Finally, we divide the sum of the observations by the total observations to get the average of the data set.

The formula to find the average of a given set of numbers is:

Average = (Sum of all observations) ÷ (Total number of observations)

Solved Example on Average Calculator

Example 1: Find the average of {1,2,3,4,5} and verify it using the average calculator.

Solution:

Sum of all the observations = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) = 15

Total number of observations = 5

Average = 15/5

= 3

Thus, Average of {1,2,3,4,5} is 3

Example 2: If Ana scored 50, 78, 49, and 80 in four subjects, find the average marks obtained and verify it using the average calculator.

Solution:

Sum of all the observations = (50 + 78 + 49 + 80) = 257

Total number of observations = 4

Average = 257/4

= 64.25

Thus, Ana scored 64.25 average marks.

Now, use the average calculator to find the average of the following numbers:

• {3,5,6,7,8,14}
• {4,8,10,12}
