Project 19: Calculating the Mean

Intro Problem: Suppose we asked 10 of your classmates how much they spent on their last haircut and obtained the following values:

5, 0, 50, 70, 100, 10, 30, 40, 140, 25


One characteristic we may be interested in with this information is "How much do my classmates typically spend on a haircut?"

There are a few different measures we could use (mean, median, mode).  The mean is $47 which could represent a typical haircut cost for your classmates.

Project 19: Your program initializes an array called 'dataset'.

Task: Correctly initialize the variable 'average' which corresponds to the average (mean) of the dataset.
