Answer 1

If you need to find the closest value to the average

very open style

public static double Miidi(double[] list)
{
    bool isEmpty = !list.Any();
    if (isEmpty)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    else
    {
        double avg = list.Average();
        double closest = 100;
        double shortest = 100;
        {
            for ( int i = 0; i < list.Length; i++)
            {
                double lgth = list[i] - avg;
                if (lgth < 0)
                {
                    lgth = lgth - (2 * lgth);
                }
                else
                    lgth = list[i] - avg;

                if (lgth < shortest)
                {
                    shortest = lgth;
                    closest = list[i];
                }
            }
        }

        return closest;
    }
}
