I need some help with avg... I am attached files for xml --- I am struggling.... the question i have is :

1. What is the average speed of all the dinosaurs?
A. <xsl:value-of select="format-number((sum(dinosaurs/*/speed[@units='mph'])div count(dinosaurs/*/speed[@units='mph']))"/>ft
it does not work...

or
B. <xsl:value-of select="sum(//speed) div count(//speed)" />

or

C.9. <xsl:value-of select="format-number((sum(dinosaurs/*/speed[@units='mph'])div count(dinosaurs/*/speed[@units='mph']))"/>ft

speed in the second node is
no information about the speed
sum produces NaN ( not a number)
