Media aritmetica

[Arlino]

Hallo,
How would you translate "media aritmetica"?


Example of media aritmetica:


Given two numbers 10 and 8 the media aritmetica between them is 9, that is to say (10+8)/2.


Thanks,

Is it correct if I simply translate it with "mean"?
And what about the translation of "media aritmetica tra il valore X e il valore Y"?

Is it fine to say "mean between value X and value Y"?

Ciao,
it's the arithmetic mean (or simply the mean)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_mean

You can say that "mean of 10 and 8 is 9"

Average is a more general term

In your case it's (arithmetic) mean
