A=S/N
"A = average (or arithmetic mean)
N = the number of terms (e.g., the number of items or numbers being averaged)
S = the sum of the numbers in the set of interest (e.g., the sum of the numbers being averaged)"

So in your example of "sometimes" over a 3 day period would be
A=(2+3+4)/3
A=9/3
A=3
In this case the average would be 3. Over a two week period it would be A=(sum of articles a day)/14
And I'm not German
