MySQL AVG function is used to find out the average of a field in various records.
To understand AVG function consider an employee_tbl table which is having following records:
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id
| name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
|
1 | John | 2007-01-24 |
250 |
|
2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 |
220 |
|
3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 |
170 |
|
3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 |
100 |
|
4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 |
220 |
|
5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 |
300 |
|
5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 |
350 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Now suppose based on the above table you want to calculate average of all the dialy_typing_pages then you can do so by
using the following command:
mysql> SELECT AVG(daily_typing_pages)
-> FROM employee_tbl;
+-------------------------+
| AVG(daily_typing_pages) |
+-------------------------+
|
230.0000 |
+-------------------------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)

You can take average of various records set using GROUP BY clause. Following example will take average all the
records related to a single person and you will have average typed pages by every person.
mysql> SELECT name, AVG(daily_typing_pages)
-> FROM employee_tbl GROUP BY name;
+------+-------------------------+
| name | AVG(daily_typing_pages) |
+------+-------------------------+
| Jack |
135.0000 |
| Jill |
220.0000 |
| John |
250.0000 |
| Ram |
220.0000 |
| Zara |
325.0000 |
+------+-------------------------+
5 rows in set (0.20 sec)
