Default Average function not returning expected result

I am averaging all the numbers including the zeros. My concern is that 74/25
is 2.96, but Excel return 2.64 as the result

Hi all:

I have a column of 25 numbers that include zeros that total 74. I have
applied the average function and rounded the result to two decimal places.

ROUND(AVERAGE (number 1,number 2...),2).

The result that I am receiving from excel is 2.64. When I use a calculator
the result is 2.96. What am I doing wrong?
