The formula to calculate Average Price (AP) is:
\[ AP = \frac{P_1 + P_2 + \ldots + P_X}{X} \]
Where:
The average price is the sum of all prices divided by the number of prices. It provides a measure of the central tendency of the prices, giving an idea of the typical price in the set.
Let's assume the following prices:
Using the formula to calculate the Average Price:
\[ AP = \frac{10 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 50}{5} = \frac{150}{5} = 30 \text{ dollars} \]
The Average Price (AP) is 30 dollars.
