Not sure this is the correct forum for this.

Agree with the other posters: this is the wrong forum.
But on a related note, what's the deal with people calling any picture of a person or animal a "selfie", even when they clearly didn't take it?

Now we need to see a picture of you crying.

If not KSS, as selfie affectionados, they should read this, anyway:
I hate the selfie phenomenon.
It's basically a form of public masturbation, with the intent of having the event, or at least its memory, shared with others.

The average website was attacked 44 times a day during the last quarter of 2017, according to new research from security specialist SiteLock. Now you know what it takes to aspire to greatness

What about above-average websites? And below-average?

They don’t get attacked. People only hack average sites.

Amazingly, I just checked and average.com seems to be available!

This is a really good place (and probably quite instructive) to have not only the average (mean), but also the mode and the median reported.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics - "probably" one of the truest statements, ever.

Suppose, a litre of cola costs US$3.15. If you buy one third of a litre of cola, how much would you pay? Is this going to be on the test?
|
|
|
|
|
$3.15 because you can't just buy a third of that liter of cola. Plus, that very expensive cola.

And if they do sell smaller units, they are sure to be more than a third of the price.

Only if the shop workers can handle basic arithmetic.
I've lost count of the number of times I've seen large packs of things selling for more per unit than smaller packs. In some cases, you could buy the equivalent of 150% of the larger pack for less than the cost of the larger pack.
But then I wonder whether there's a diabolical marketing strategy behind it: make people think you've made a mistake, and they're getting a bargain, and they'll probably spend more money.

Well, almost. You forgot to add the price for getting rid of the remaining two thirds of a liter. Don't litter!

This is a trick question, does the 3.15 include sales tax? Do we have to calculate future dentist and healthcare costs associated with carbonated beverages? Can we deduct any recycling income of the container? The grocery stores I go to charge 99 cents for 1 liter bottles and 1.59 for 2 liters so its not a per liter comparison. Figuring that all out in a few seconds seems pretty difficult to me. I don't blame people at all. I feel bad for the smug people who blurted out 1.05 without even thinking the whole thing through.
