The DMG page 110 describes an average array as 3d6 six times and that the all creatures in the MM are average characters or 6 10's (modified by the racial modifiers of course). It seems odd that an ellite array would have the lowest score as an 8 and that an average array would have a lowest stat being a 10. I was thinking of an average array as 12, 11, 10, 10, 9, 8. I am curious to know if there are any official numbers anywhere.

I don't think the usage of "average" in this case refers to any sort of statistical analysis of average die-rolls, and would serve as a baseline for DMs to generate stats quickly for NPC in their campaigns.
