Overage number

[thoand]

Hi,

Left my math back on highschool a long time ago 🙂
My question is:
How can I finde the average number, eg. if I have these numbers:

10,18,84,52,12,36

What is the overage number?

thanks in advance,

Add all of them up and divide by the total number.

$numbers = array(10,18,84,52,12,36);

$sum=0;
for ($i = 0; $i<count($numbers); $i++) {
  $sum += $numbers[$i];
}

$average = $sum / count($numbers);

echo $average;

That should output some rounding variation of : 35.3

$numbers = array(10,18,84,52,12,36);
$sum=array_sum($numbers);
$average = round($sum / count($numbers),2);
echo $average;
