average coverage calculation

[asheet-bhaskar]

I tried to check code coverage with gocov and goreporter. I found that the value of code coverage i get using goreporter differs than the value i get using gocov.

for following stats

package percentage lines-covered
pkg-1 90.57% 48/53
pkg-2 83.08% 54/65
pkg-3 77.59% 135/174

1. code coverage using goreporter is (90.57+83.08+77.59)/3 = 83.74% (average of percentage code coverage of individual package)
2. code coverage using gocov is = (237*100)/292 = 81.16% (percentage of line covered in whole project).

My concern is which of the above two is more accurate?
