Averages allow you to see through variability. An average is a surprisingly stable but delicate figure. For instance, you could have a 3 month average of highly variable data equalling $100/mo, but you could add 10 years worth of highly variable data to the 3 months of data, and still have a result of $100/mo

How does increased friction affect the actual mechanical advantage of a machine?
Increased friction reduces the actual mechanical advantage of a machine because more of the input force is used to overcome friction rather than move the load. This results in less of the input force being effectively transferred to the load, decreasing the overall efficiency of the machine.
