Normal for what? What kind of system is this? What model? What type of application are you running?

There is no "normal" answer. It always depends.

Shalom,

There is no such thing as normal.

The answer depends on how many processes/applications and users you have using them. It also depends on application design.

It is possible for a system to have a high load average and still function normally.

Use top ,glance sar to see your performance of server.

That is exactly what you should have responded in the interview: "there is no NORMAL load average, it depends".
