Reply to comment by jeffinRTP in TIL that according to a Children's Sugar Consumption Survey, children eat 22.862 sugar snacks a week on average on Pennsylvania, the most of any state in the United States (Lowest: Utah, 4.830) by B0rtles
No, they’re saying the total number of snacks children ate divided by the number of children is 22.862. Not that each individual child ate 22.862 sugary snacks. That’s how averages work. It’s the same reason the average number of legs for humans is 1.97 legs.
