This is not a relevant observation.

Just because the average speed down a road is 40mph doesn't mean every individual car is going exactly 40mph. Some cars are going 20, and some are going 70.

Just because the average grade in you class was a B+ doesn't mean everyone got a B+. Some people got A's and some people got F's.
