To find the average of the four scores, add them all together and divide by the number of scores:
(36.4 + 37.4 + 38.7 + 36.2) / 4 = 148.7 / 4 = 37.175
The average "All-Around" score is 37.175. Since the coach recommends that gymnasts whose average is at least 36.6 move up, the child would need to earn a score of at least 36.6 in the next competition to be eligible to move up.
