 This is intuitive, but you might find it worthwhile to also think about how this relates to the more familiar method of averaging finitely many numbers, which is to add them all up and divide by how many there are. A very common feeling is that when you use a sum in a discrete context, you use an integral in a continuous context. But to avoid subtle errors in making this translation, its useful to be able to think exactly how and why the analogy from sums to integrals works in various contexts where it comes up. This question of finding the average value of a function offers a great chance exercise that muscle.
