No, its not. 

You are doing print( average(x)+average(y)+average(z) ) and this isn't
going to work (but it will work in the next release!).

However, to the best of my knowledge you can print( average(x+y+z) )
and get the same result provided that all time ranges are equal.

I do recall something similar to this (clickable images) so it's probably
best to check the contrib dir.
