So you add all the numbers you got and divide by the number of numbers. In Python you can get the number of elements in a list with the function len. You just take your list, let's say you call it my_list, and write: len(my_list) You get the number of elements in the list like this. So probably now you get an idea how to tackle the problem...? Now give it a try!
