我尝试使用上面的选项，但没有工作。 试试这个:

from statistics import mean

n = [11, 13, 15, 17, 19]

print(n)
print(mean(n))

使用过python 3.5

Sum (l) / float(len(l))是正确答案，但为了完整起见，你可以用一个reduce来计算平均值:

>>> reduce(lambda x, y: x + y / float(len(l)), l, 0)
20.111111111111114

注意，这可能会导致轻微的舍入误差:

>>> sum(l) / float(len(l))
20.111111111111111

假设

x = [
    [-5.01,-5.43,1.08,0.86,-2.67,4.94,-2.51,-2.25,5.56,1.03],
    [-8.12,-3.48,-5.52,-3.78,0.63,3.29,2.09,-2.13,2.86,-3.33],
    [-3.68,-3.54,1.66,-4.11,7.39,2.08,-2.59,-6.94,-2.26,4.33]
]

你可以注意到x的维数是3*10如果你需要得到每一行的平均值，你可以输入这个

theMean = np.mean(x1,axis=1)

不要忘记将numpy导入为np

两者都可以在一个整数或至少10个十进制值上给出接近的值。但如果你真的考虑长浮动值，这两者可能是不同的。方法可以根据你想要达到的目标而有所不同。

>>> l = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]
>>> print reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, l) / len(l)
20
>>> sum(l)/len(l)
20

浮动值

>>> print reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, l) / float(len(l))
20.1111111111
>>> print sum(l)/float(len(l))
20.1111111111

@Andrew Clark的说法是正确的。

编辑:

我添加了另外两种获取列表平均值的方法(仅适用于Python 3.8+)。下面是我做的比较:

import timeit
import statistics
import numpy as np
from functools import reduce
import pandas as pd
import math

LIST_RANGE = 10
NUMBERS_OF_TIMES_TO_TEST = 10000

l = list(range(LIST_RANGE))

def mean1():
    return statistics.mean(l)


def mean2():
    return sum(l) / len(l)


def mean3():
    return np.mean(l)


def mean4():
    return np.array(l).mean()


def mean5():
    return reduce(lambda x, y: x + y / float(len(l)), l, 0)

def mean6():
    return pd.Series(l).mean()


def mean7():
    return statistics.fmean(l)


def mean8():
    return math.fsum(l) / len(l)


for func in [mean1, mean2, mean3, mean4, mean5, mean6, mean7, mean8 ]:
    print(f"{func.__name__} took: ",  timeit.timeit(stmt=func, number=NUMBERS_OF_TIMES_TO_TEST))

以下是我得到的结果:

mean1 took:  0.09751558300000002
mean2 took:  0.005496791999999973
mean3 took:  0.07754683299999998
mean4 took:  0.055743208000000044
mean5 took:  0.018134082999999968
mean6 took:  0.6663848750000001
mean7 took:  0.004305374999999945
mean8 took:  0.003203333000000086

有趣!看起来math.fsum(l) / len(l)是最快的方法，然后是statistics.fmean(l)，然后是sum(l) / len(l)。好了!

感谢阿斯克勒庇俄斯为我展示了另外两种方式!

旧的回答:

就效率和速度而言，以下是我测试其他答案的结果:

# test mean caculation

import timeit
import statistics
import numpy as np
from functools import reduce
import pandas as pd

LIST_RANGE = 10
NUMBERS_OF_TIMES_TO_TEST = 10000

l = list(range(LIST_RANGE))

def mean1():
    return statistics.mean(l)


def mean2():
    return sum(l) / len(l)


def mean3():
    return np.mean(l)


def mean4():
    return np.array(l).mean()


def mean5():
    return reduce(lambda x, y: x + y / float(len(l)), l, 0)

def mean6():
    return pd.Series(l).mean()



for func in [mean1, mean2, mean3, mean4, mean5, mean6]:
    print(f"{func.__name__} took: ",  timeit.timeit(stmt=func, number=NUMBERS_OF_TIMES_TO_TEST))

结果是:

mean1 took:  0.17030245899968577
mean2 took:  0.002183011999932205
mean3 took:  0.09744236000005913
mean4 took:  0.07070840100004716
mean5 took:  0.022754742999950395
mean6 took:  1.6689282460001778

所以很明显赢家是: Sum (l) / len(l)

如果您使用的是python >= 3.4，则有一个统计库

https://docs.python.org/3/library/statistics.html

你可以像这样使用它的mean方法。让我们假设你有一个数字列表，你想找到平均值:-

list = [11, 13, 12, 15, 17]
import statistics as s
s.mean(list)

它还有其他方法，比如stdev，方差，模式，调和平均值，中位数等，这些方法都非常有用。
