AVERAGE(n1,n2,n3)
- Where are any real numbers.
Description
- This function gives the Average for given set numbers.
- Average means sum of all the given elements divided by Number of given elements.
- It is also called Arithmetic mean.
- i.e if numbers are given and each number is denoted by , where to , then
= .
- In this function can either be numbers,arrays,references of cells or we can enter the logical values directly.
- Arithmetic mean is the most common measures of central tendency.
- Central tendency is a single value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position within that set of data.
- The other common measures of central tendency are: Median,& Mode.
- A.M is calculated by adding the given set of numbers and divided by the count of the given set of numbers.
Average of 2,4,2,7,2,3 and 5 is 3.6
- Median: It is the middle number of a sorted list(Ascending order) of numbers.
The median of 2,2,2,3,4,5,7 is 3
- Mode: It is the most frequently repeated number in a given set of numbers.
The mode of 2,2,2,3,4,5 and 7 is 2.
- This function will show the result as Error,
- when the values are error values or text that cannot change in to numbers.
Examples
- AVERAGE( 2, 3, 11, 13, 17, 26, 34, 47)=19.125
- AVERAGE(5,-2,7,8,11,20,25,-9)=8.125
