Average

In general knowledge, "average" refers to a measure that represents the central or typical value in a set of numbers. The most common type of average is the arithmetic mean, calculated by adding all the values together and dividing by the total number of values. Averages help summarize and compare data, making it easier to understand trends or characteristics in a group. For example, if five people have ages of 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40, the average age is 30, providing a quick snapshot of the group's age distribution.
