numbers = [0,1,2,3]

numbers[0] = input("Please enter a number")

numbers[1] = input("Please enter a second number")

numbers[2] = input("Please enter a third number")

numbers[3] = input("Please enter a fourth number")

print (numbers)

print ("Finding the Avarage")

avarage = int(numbers[0]) + int(numbers[1]) + int(numbers[2]) + int(numbers [3]) / 4

print (avarage)

对于Python 3.4+，使用新的统计模块中的mean()来计算平均值:

from statistics import mean
xs = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]
mean(xs)

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。

而不是强制转换为float，你可以将0.0加到和:

def avg(l):
    return sum(l, 0.0) / len(l)

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

如果你想要的不仅仅是平均值(又名平均)，你可以看看scipy的统计:

from scipy import stats
l = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]
print(stats.describe(l))

# DescribeResult(nobs=9, minmax=(2, 78), mean=20.11111111111111, 
# variance=572.3611111111111, skewness=1.7791785448425341, 
# kurtosis=1.9422716419666397)
