Question

 Re-write the algorithm below so that it correctly solves the problem. Briefly explain the error and the correction.

Problem

Create an algorithm that will calculate the average of a group of numbers that are input and print the average.

Calculate_Average

1 Get num1, num2, num3
2 sum = num1 - num2 + num3
3 average = sum/4
4 print average

Expert Solution
Step 1

Average of a group of numbers  = ( sum of all the numbers ) /  ( count of Numbers ) .

so, For Above Case :
