The phrase "average of almost" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It is unclear because "average" typically refers to a specific numerical value, while "almost" suggests a degree of approximation that conflicts with the precision of an average.
Example: "The average of almost all the participants' scores was not calculated accurately."
Alternatives: "mean of nearly" or "average of nearly".
