Show your work so far.
If you add the numbers as they are entered it is a simple matter to calculate the average.
Remember what an average is: the sum of the values divided by the number of items.
So the average of 1, 3, 6, 2 is the total (1 + 3 + 6 + 2 = 12) divided by the number of items (4): 12 / 4 = 3
So use a loop. Inside the loop, read a number and add it to a total.
After the loop, divide that total by the number of items (five in your case) and you have both required values.
This isn't a complex task, it's designed to get you thinking about how you convert a requirement into code. So for next time, read this: How to Write Code to Solve a Problem, A Beginner's Guide[^] and think about what you are being asked to do!
