    Let \(f: U \to \mathbb{R}\) be a convex function defined on a convex set \(U\subset \mathbb{R}^n\) and \(\Delta \subset U\) be an \(n\)-dimensional simplex with vertices \(x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n\). For a nonempty subset \(K\) of \(N=\{0, 1, \ldots, n\}\) and a \((k-1)\)-face \(\Delta_K\), define \[ A(k) =\frac{k! (n+1-k)!}{(n+1)!} \sum_{K\subset N, \text{ card} (K) =k} \frac{1}{\text{Vol} (\Delta_K )}\int_{\Delta_K} f(x) dx. \] The authors prove that \(A(n+1) \leq A(n) \leq \cdots \leq A(2) \leq A(1)\), which is a refinement of the right-hand side of \[ f\left(\frac{x_0 + \cdots + x_n}{n+1}\right) \leq \frac{1}{\text{Vol} (\Delta)} \int_{\Delta} f(x) dx \leq \frac{f(x_0) + \cdots + f(x_n)}{n+1},\tag{1} \] obtained by \textit{M. Bessenyei} [Am. Math. Mon. 115, No. 4, 339--345 (2008; Zbl 1152.26017)]. A similar refinement of the left-hand side of (1) was obtained by \textit{M. Nowicka} and \textit{A. Witkowski} [J. Inequal. Appl. 2015, Paper No. 373, 6 p. (2015; Zbl 1336.26040)].
