Answer:

Average: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to find it in the average:

Add all of the numbers given, then divide by the number of digits.

Example:

Question 1. ) Find the average of the digits.

10, 12, 7, 9, 14, 8, 5, 19

Step 1. Add all of the numbers - 70

Step 2. Count how many different numbers there are - 8

Step 3. Take your first answer and your second and divide them

Step 4. 70 รท 8 = 8.75 So 8.75 would be the average
