    And you’re free to argue that you’re paying for 28 days instead of 31. Some are willing to give you a deal just to shut you up. The vast majority are yearly leases that are averaged. Can you provide an example of something you pay for just one month? That’s not daily or weekly instead wrapped into monthly…?

    No, the average person has less than two hands, and your whole example isn’t even correct. Lots of people are missing fingers or portions of their hands…

    Also, the average February has more than 28 days since every fourth has an additional day to bring the average up.

    It really sounds like you don’t understand what the term average means here….

      Nope, the average person has two hands, the average number of hands on a person is less than two. Just like the average American is white and not a combination of all sampled ethnic groups.

      The average February more than 3/4ths of them are 28 days.

      It really sounds like you don’t understand statistics.

        You really can’t seem to stick to the same point can you? And where’s the examples? You don’t have any do you? You claimed there was plenty, let’s see them.

        Your first comment you use decimals, and now you’re saying everything has to be whole numbers… can’t change your story to fit what you want mate.

        Stop moving the goalposts, you made a mistake, don’t try to argue different points to save face. Take the L and move on.

            There are an average of 30.437 days in a month so if you pay a monthly payment for your average February that’s 2.437 days off the average. That’s nearly 10% of a month.

            Nice “whole numbers” lmfao…

            The average American isn’t white, most are mixed race and not white…. So you aren’t even correct there either.

            You really don’t know what you’re talking about here and have argued 5 different irrelevant points.

                Where’s your examples? Where is your proof of anything you’ve claimed? You can’t support anything you’ve claimed and bloviated over.

                The only one needing to take the L is you, you made a mistake and have tripled down on 5 completely different irrelevant points to try and save face.

                You’ve proved nothing but bloviate about nothing relevant to the discussion.

                The average American is not white, the average person has less than two hands… averages don’t NEED to be rounded to a whole number, that’s just plain wrong.

                  I linked you the wiki page for it, it’s not my fault you can’t read.

                  Take the L and move on

                  Isn’t averages taught in second grade…?

                  The most frequently occurring number in a list is called the mode. For example, the mode of the list (1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4) is 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

                  Might need to retake 2nd grade my dude.

                    Maybe read your own source…?

                    Depending on the context, the most representative statistic to be taken as the average might be another measure of central tendency, such as the mid-range, median, mode or geometric mean.

                    Mode is secondary, you’re intentionally choosing a non-standard average to attempt to detract from the main point. And even mode can be decimal as well… so what point do you even think that’s making here anyways…?

                    I’ll retake second grade once you learn basic reading comprehension…. The fact you need to specify mode instead of average should be more than enough to show you’re trying to mislead here…

                    And again, please provide the examples of stuff you pay for monthly, you said there is plenty, and haven’t listed one, and have only moved the goalposts every comment instead of answering a very simple follow up to your original main point…:
