Answer

$\dfrac{2}{\pi} $

Work Step by Step

We need to use the fundamental Theorem of calculus. $\overline{f}=\dfrac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f(x) dx $ Now, $\overline{f}=\dfrac{1}{\pi-0}\int_0^{\pi} \sin x dx\\=-\dfrac{1}{\pi}[\cos x ]_0^{\pi} \\=-\dfrac{1}{\pi}[\cos \pi-\cos (0) ]\\=-\dfrac{1}{\pi}[-1-1 ]\\=\dfrac{2}{\pi} $
