This is probably for the "beyond the square" thinkers,
But in the world of mathematics, to obtain an average of let's say in this example,
2 + 2 = 4 /2 to give the avgerage of 2.
OK.

Does, or is there in existance where the average value is not a "2", but substituted to variables of 1.5's or 1.9's etc ?
If so where is this used ?

secondly,
The above example shows the basic average calculation for 2 values.(2+2)
But if there were to be 3 sets of values, lets say 2+2+2 = 6 / 3 = 2 = average.
What would the 1.5 be for 3 sets when 1.5 is for 2 sets of values and how is it calculated to get a 1.5 divisor value for 3 or more sets of values requiring an variable average diviser ?
What I mean is, if 2+2 = 4 /1.5 = 1.3
The 1.5 is used for 2 sets of values
If 3 sets of values are to be averaged,then is the 1.5 the correct divisor value to obtain the equivical answer as in the 2 sets?
Or, is the correct divisor for 2,3 or more values always 1.5 or makes no difference?


Why?
OK, I am working on a method of selections to out do what is commonly known. Yet,lets say the "opposition" KNOWS the majority uses a the normal method of calculating averages,then in a game of chance one may out do the other by out-guessing or altering the value of the common average divisor.
Normaly known as 2, it may be changed to 1.5 or 1.9.
Therefore not ever being able to outscore or out-guess the opponent.


Much appreciated.
