How do you calculate multiple dice rolls?

What is fudging a dice roll?
Fudging is reporting the result of a dice roll, made in secret (e.g. behind a GM screen), to be something other than what it was. This is generally only considered to be fudging when done by the GM, and when done by any other player it is considered cheating (although some rare groups may tolerate this).
How do you calculate average dice?
Another option for finding the average dice roll is to add all of the possible outcomes together then divide by the number of sides the die has. For example, to find the average dice roll of 1d4 you would add 1, 2, 3, and 4 together and divide by 4.
