Calculating the Mean from a list of 1 X 1 matrices

Hello All MAXIMA users, I hope this is the right address to ask questions...
I have a function f that spits out a 1 X 1 matrix [which was created
by col(row(A,i)j)]. I want to repeat this function, let's say, 100
times and then compute the mean. When I use makelist(f,i,1,100), listp
returns that this is indeed a list, but mean does not evaluate.
Apply("+",...) works, though. What is going on? How can I work around
this? Obviously, I could use apply and then devide by 100, but that is
not very elegant and might be problematic later on.
Thanks for any help or comments!
