Strictly speaking, RedMax, the question does not make sense. Okay with age (which is a number and said to be a scale variable) then the average can be computed. However, the month is not a number (but is called a nominal variable) and cannot be averaged in the same sense. For example, ask what is the average of May, June and September (say) and you begin to see what the problem is!

0.68966 * 12 months = 8.27months.


Therefore the average age is 25 years 8.27 months.


In 4 months time the average age will be a tad over 26 - indicating that the average birth month is August.
