To find the average, add all the numbers together and then divide the sum by the count of numbers.

Step 1: Add the numbers  
(–15) + (–23) + 1 + 17 + (–3) + (–20) + 8  
= –15 – 23 + 1 + 17 – 3 – 20 + 8  
= –35

Step 2: Count the numbers  
There are 7 numbers.

Step 3: Divide the sum by the count  
Average = –35 ÷ 7 = –5

Therefore, the average of the values is –5.
The average of the values is –5.
