Getting an average in VBA in Access

In an Access module I'm using this code

x = Forms![Density Test]![No of Test]
For n = 1 To x

Dat = Choose(n, Forms![Density Test]!DENS1, Forms![Density Test]!DENS2, Forms![Density Test]!DENS3, Forms![Density Test]!DENS4, Forms![Density Test]!DENS5, Forms![Density Test]!DENS5, Forms![Density Test]!DENS6, Forms![Density Test]!DENS7, Forms![Density Test]!DENS8, Forms![Density Test]!DENS9, Forms![Density Test]!DENS10)

S1 = S1 + Dat

Next
Forms![Density Test]![AvD] = S1 / x

Forms![Density Test]![Av Density] = Forms![Density Test]![AvD]

I get an answer of an average that is 2.334 when in reality the average is 2.327 from 6 values of 2.333, 2.287, 2.365, 2.264, 2.377, and 2.339.
x = 6

Any idea why?
Is this code wrong?

TIA Reece
 
Never mind
I found the obvious.
I'm just a blind twit
 
I'd like to share how I did this

'Average Density Ratio
For q = 1 To x
Dat4 = Choose(q, Forms![Density Test]!DR1, Forms![Density Test]!DR2, Forms![Density Test]!DR3, Forms![Density Test]!DR4, Forms![Density Test]!DR5, Forms![Density Test]!DR6)
S4 = S4 + Dat4
Next
Forms![Density Test]!MDR = S4 / x
MDR = S4 / x

'Charact Density Ratio
For t = 1 To x
Dat5 = Choose(t, Forms![Density Test]!DR1, Forms![Density Test]!DR2, Forms![Density Test]!DR3, Forms![Density Test]!DR4, Forms![Density Test]!DR5, Forms![Density Test]!DR6)
S5 = S5 + (Dat5 - MDR) ^ 2
Next
DRSD = Sqr(S5 / (x - 1))
Forms![Density Test]!CDR = MDR - (Forms![Density Test]!K * DRSD)

K is a factor of risk applied to the std dev. THe base calc is Characteristic DR = Av DR-(0.92*stddev of DR)
The density ratios are across 6 different fields in a table and on a form.

Thanks for the help here on this site.
Really appreciated!
