On a recent hiking holiday I walked 12 miles on the first day, 15 on the next, then 10, 0, 20 and 9 miles. Altogether I walked 66 miles in 6 days or an average of 11 miles each day. This number 11, called the average, is not the distance I walked on any day but rather a number to give some fair representation of my average performance.
