你可以试试下面的方法:

a = [1,2,3,4,5]
# => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
(a.sum/a.length).to_f
# => 3.0

为了让公众开心，还有另一个解决方案:

a = 0, 4, 8, 2, 5, 0, 2, 6
a.reduce [ 0.0, 0 ] do |(s, c), e| [ s + e, c + 1 ] end.reduce :/
#=> 3.375

arr = [0,4,8,2,5,0,2,6]
average = arr.inject(&:+).to_f / arr.size
# => 3.375

Ruby版本>= 2.4有一个Enumerable#sum方法。

要获得浮点平均值，可以使用Integer#fdiv

arr = [0,4,8,2,5,0,2,6]

arr.sum.fdiv(arr.size)
# => 3.375

对于旧版本:

arr.reduce(:+).fdiv(arr.size)
# => 3.375

一些顶级解决方案的基准测试(按效率最高的顺序排列):

大阵:

array = (1..10_000_000).to_a

Benchmark.bm do |bm|
  bm.report { array.instance_eval { reduce(:+) / size.to_f } }
  bm.report { array.sum.fdiv(array.size) }
  bm.report { array.sum / array.size.to_f }
  bm.report { array.reduce(:+).to_f / array.size }
  bm.report { array.reduce(:+).try(:to_f).try(:/, array.size) }
  bm.report { array.inject(0.0) { |sum, el| sum + el }.to_f / array.size }
  bm.report { array.reduce([ 0.0, 0 ]) { |(s, c), e| [ s + e, c + 1 ] }.reduce(:/) }
end


    user     system      total        real
0.480000   0.000000   0.480000   (0.473920)
0.500000   0.000000   0.500000   (0.502158)
0.500000   0.000000   0.500000   (0.508075)
0.510000   0.000000   0.510000   (0.512600)
0.520000   0.000000   0.520000   (0.516096)
0.760000   0.000000   0.760000   (0.767743)
1.530000   0.000000   1.530000   (1.534404)

小数组:

array = Array.new(10) { rand(0.5..2.0) }

Benchmark.bm do |bm|
  bm.report { 1_000_000.times { array.reduce(:+).to_f / array.size } }
  bm.report { 1_000_000.times { array.sum / array.size.to_f } }
  bm.report { 1_000_000.times { array.sum.fdiv(array.size) } }
  bm.report { 1_000_000.times { array.inject(0.0) { |sum, el| sum + el }.to_f / array.size } }
  bm.report { 1_000_000.times { array.instance_eval { reduce(:+) / size.to_f } } }
  bm.report { 1_000_000.times { array.reduce(:+).try(:to_f).try(:/, array.size) } }
  bm.report { 1_000_000.times { array.reduce([ 0.0, 0 ]) { |(s, c), e| [ s + e, c + 1 ] }.reduce(:/) } }
end


    user     system      total        real
0.760000   0.000000   0.760000   (0.760353)
0.870000   0.000000   0.870000   (0.876087)
0.900000   0.000000   0.900000   (0.901102)
0.920000   0.000000   0.920000   (0.920888)
0.950000   0.000000   0.950000   (0.952842)
1.690000   0.000000   1.690000   (1.694117)
1.840000   0.010000   1.850000   (1.845623)

这台电脑上没有ruby，但在这个程度上应该可以工作:

values = [0,4,8,2,5,0,2,6]
total = 0.0
values.each do |val|
 total += val
end

average = total/values.size
