# Average or Mean
> This query is available as `average` and `mean`.
An average is a single number taken as representative of a list of numbers.
It is calculated as:
```
average = sum(numbers) / count(numbers)
```
## how to use
Use it in alerts like this:
```
alarm: my_alert
on: my_chart
lookup: average -1m unaligned of my_dimension
warn: $this > 1000
```
`average` does not change the units. For example, if the chart units is `requests/sec`, the result
will be again expressed in the same units.
It can also be used in APIs and badges as `&group=average` in the URL.
