Abstract: Let $o(G)$ be the average order of a finite group $G$. We show that if $o(G)<c$, where $cinlbracefrac136,frac114brace$, then $G$ is an elementary abelian 2-group or a solvable group, respectively. Also, we prove that the set containing the average orders of all finite groups is not dense in $[a,infty)$, for all $ain[0,frac136]$. We also outline some results related to the integer values of the average order. Since group element orders is a popular research topic, we pose some open problems concerning the average order of a finite group throughout the paper.
