How can you calculate the average value of a list in Python?
To find the average value in a list, you can use the following method:
- Find the total sum of the list using the sum() function, and then divide it by the length of the list.
lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
average = sum(lst) / len(lst)
print(average)
- Calculate the average of a list using the mean() function in the numpy library.
import numpy as np
lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
average = np.mean(lst)
print(average)
You can use either method to calculate the average of the list, just choose one.
