Question

why do we use averages what are the limitations to their use

Answer 1

average is used to take an idea of the given data.... sometimes bcoz of average value we can't know highest or lowest value in the given data

Answer 2

We use averages because they are useful for comparing differing quantities of the same category. For example, to compute the per capita income of a country, averages have to be used because there are differences in the incomes of diverse people. However, there are limitations to theuse of averages.
