Getting Multiple Averages

I have a query that gets the average of category 1. Is it possible to make a query that holds the averages of ALL categories? like so..

Category 1 => 2.3
Category 2 => 3.1

Code:
SELECT AVG(answer) as average
	FROM answers
	INNER JOIN questions ON answers.question_id = questions.question_id
	INNER JOIN categories ON categories.category_id = questions.category_id
	WHERE categories.category_id = 2");


Thanks!

Thank you very much! I hadn't looked in to the GROUP BY function. Mysql keeps suprising!
