Give three examples where an average is used for comparing situations.

1. Class Test Scores: A teacher might calculate the average score of a class on a test to understand the overall performance. It helps in comparing how well the entire class did on the test.

2. Sports Team Statistics: In a sports team, the coach might calculate the average number of goals scored per game or the average time taken to finish a race. This helps in comparing the team’s overall performance across different games or races.

3. Family Expenses: A family might calculate their average monthly expenses by adding up all the expenses and dividing by the number of months. This helps in comparing the typical spending pattern over time.

In these examples, averages are used to get an overall idea or comparison of a group’s performance, statistics, or spending without focusing on individual details.
