Average for what group of people? Everybody in the whole world? Everybody in your town? Everybody who's done at least at least 1 page of typing in the past year?
Less than half the population of the world has the manual
dexterity to wiggle their fingers at the speed of 50 words per minute or better.
A speed of 40 words per minute is the basic minimum standard required by many employers and government positions, for jobs that include typing as a major part of the job. The average for people who take typing tests at one company in the USA, is about 38 WPM. The top 10% type at 64 WPM or faster.

Average (including kids) is 30-40. The fastest in the world was over 200. Not including kids, only working adults, the average is 40-50. I type about 65.

Usually, between 40 & 60 wpm is average. I've been timed at 80 wpm, but I've been typing for 25+ years.

Average speed is approximately 40, but average is again rather bad, since many people type with one finger. i type with two fingers and already practice for nine years, and I can type 113 words per minute with 13 errors

I'd say about 25. Thats only a guess though. I can do about 80 and ive been computing for years. So its hard to say.
