The average growth rate would be (3+1-2+4+5) / 5 = 2.2%

The decrease from 1% to - 2% would be what they call, economic recession, when the economy of a country, for example, decreases probably due to calamities.

If it would have been + 2%, then the average growth rate would be:

(3+1+2+4+5) / 5 = 3%
