### averageBy
Returns the average of an array, after mapping each element to a value using the provided function.
Use `Array.map()` to map each element to the value returned by `fn`, `Array.reduce()` to add each value to an accumulator, initialized with a value of `0`, divide by the `length` of the array.
```js
const averageBy = (arr, fn) =>
arr.map(typeof fn === 'function' ? fn : val => val[fn]).reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0) /
arr.length;
```
```js
averageBy([{ n: 4 }, { n: 2 }, { n: 8 }, { n: 6 }], o => o.n); // 5
averageBy([{ n: 4 }, { n: 2 }, { n: 8 }, { n: 6 }], 'n'); // 5
```
