1. Why might the author be warning readers to be cautious of averages? How might these words apply to what you have learned?

Answer:

Averages don't tell the whole story..

Explanation:

Averages do not tell the full story of an event. Since there are not one, not two, but three types of averages, namely; Mean, Mode, and Median, this means there is a 100/3 = 33.3 percent chance of someone guessing which of the averages was used.

This can be misleading.
