  Number Avearage and Weight Average Molecular Weight
Using strings of varying lengths to represent polymers of varying degrees of polymerization, students are able to calculate the number average molecular weight, the weight average molecular weight and the polydispersity index for a "sample" with a distribution of chain lengths.
The number average molecular weight is the total weight (the sum of column 4) divided by the total number of "molecules" (the sum of column 2).
The weight average molecular weight is the sum of column 5 divided by the sum of column 4.

The molecular weight may be calculated from the molecular formula of the substance; it is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms making up the molecule.
Molecular weights of substances may be determined experimentally in various ways, the method employed usually depending on the state (solid, liquid, or gas) of the substance.
The molecular weights of substances that are not normally gaseous and do not evaporate without decomposition are sometimes determined from their effects on the melting point, boiling point, vapor pressure, or osmotic pressure of some solvent (see colligative properties).

 Average - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This "average" (arithmetic mean) income is higher than most people's incomes, because high income outliers skew the result higher (in contrast, the median income "resists" such skew).

Average is derived from Romance avaria, a 'tax'; this is in turn connected with the Arabic or Turkish avaria or avania of the same meaning.
