if youre wondering, ive done the average of the rural and urban usage
Lemme make up some numbers to illustrate why 'average' is an unhelpful number in this discussion: - daily internet usage (cities): 90% - daily internet usage (rural): 10% Average daily internet usage: (90 + 10) / 2 == 50% The average figure (50%) doesn't communicate the reality of these numbers. If you were planning an e-commerce site it helps to know that there is a huge market in the cities, as opposed to a 50% figure that glosses over the differences. In this case, city and rural figures have to be analyzed separately. Calculating the median also won't help much here, it would probably skew the numbers to the lower end (since most internet usage is concentrated in the cities anyway). Interesting discussion!

Ok, now thats straightforward. that means that on average, 13 percent (if youre wondering, ive done the average of the rural and urban usage) of the approximate 4 million users browse the internet once a month, 8.5 percent browse at least four times a month and only 3.5 browse every day. * *
