What is the correct calculation for average usage, taking into account the weight based on the number of days each pass is valid for?

$\text{Average usage} = \left( \frac{200}{365} \times 365 \right) + \left( \frac{20}{30} \times 30 \right)$ (correct)

$\text{Average usage} = \frac{200 + 20}{2}$

$\text{Average usage} = 110$

$\text{Average usage} = 200 + 20$

Why are simple arithmetic averages consistently smaller than properly weighted averages in both examples?

They underestimate the usage of longer-duration passes

They fail to consider the weight based on the number of days each pass is valid for (correct)

They overestimate the usage of shorter-duration passes

They ignore the engagement of pass holders
