If the dosimeter was not zeroed before this reading, subtract the previous reading from the new reading. Add the net dosimeter readings. Divide the sum of the readings by the total number of readings. Round averaged readings to the nearest whole number. Any final average of .5 or above should be rounded up, while any final average ending in a number below .5 should be rounded down.
