Need Help With AverageIF with specific text

[edisnotsmart]

I am trying to find the average of specific states (four to be exact, Alaska, Nevada, Florida and Texas) in my list of excel but I keep getting errors.

I've tried: =AVERAGEIF(A1:A10,"*Texas*","*Nevada*","*Florida*","*Alaska*",B1:B10) but its tell me I have too many arguments. Can anyone help me find a solution to average multiple specific states?

Column A
Cell 1: Texas
Cell 2: Florida
Cell 3: Colorado
Cell 4: Maine
Cell 5: Nevada
Cell 6: Alaska
Cell 7: Texas
Cell 8: Nevada
Cell 9: Florida
Cell 10: Utah

Column B
Cell 1: 138
Cell 2: 148
Cell 3: 982
Cell 4: 458
Cell 5: 256
Cell 6: 125
Cell 7: 236
Cell 8: 123
Cell 9: 258
Cell 10: 236

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10="Texas")+(A1:A10="Nevada")+... ;B1:B10)/SOMPRODUCT((A1:A10="Texas")+(A1:A10="Nevada")+...*1)

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10="Texas")+(A1:A10="Nevada")+... ;B1:B10)/SOMPRODUCT((A1:A10="Texas")+(A1:A10="Nevada")+...*1)

For some reason it doesn't allow me to get past =SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10="Texas")+(A1:A10="Nevada") when I start putting ;B1:B10 I get a notification saying that they found something wrong with the formula. Can't figure out what tho. Thank you for replying back!
