What is the proper way of downsampling a time series containing percentage data?

Question

I have a collection of CPU utilization, the metric is percentage (%). The sample is taken every 10 seconds. I need to use 1 minute resolution data for a calculation. What is the best way of downsampling percentage? The data looks like this:

[5 6 10 5 3 12 10]

I need to generate a single number out of this that represents the CPU utilization for that minute.

Answer 1

I guess the best way is to calculate the average.
