Average of list in column

Hi guys, I have a table named Stats which contains a column named Age. This column is composed of one list per row, every list being composed of whole numbers.

 

I'm trying to get a new column whose cells are the average of the corresponding list (the one in the same row). It seems simple but I couldn't find a way to do it on the forum.

Thanks a lot.

@7WL , if power query is showing this as list they we can try List.Average

Okay I solved it. Problem was power query was recognizing the data in my lists as text. I had to use Number.FromText.

Thanks but I don't understand how this would work as List.Average takes a list as an arguments and I want to get the average of every list in the column, not just one.
