You'll need to use the len() function on num_list to return the length of the list.
Then divide sum(num_list) by len(num_list).
def average(num_list):
""" Return the sum of a list of numbers
>>> average([1, 2])
1.5
"""
return sum(num_list) / len(num_list)

def average(num_list):
""" Return the sum of a list of numbers
>>> average([1, 2])
1.5
"""
return sum(num_list) / len(num_list)

27,613 Pointsthank you so much that worked, NOTE: had to delete all empty space lines and then add the spacing in the lines in between average and after the 1.5 and it finally worked.
