"Average" is another word for "mean." If 50 nails have a mass of 200 grams, the average mass of one nail is 4 grams.

When nails are made, they are not all exactly the same - there is a slight variation in the make up of each nail, and thus in the mass of each nail.

Given that 50 nails have a mass of 200 g, the (mean) average mass of each nail is 200g / 50 = 4 g; however, there will be some nails that have a mass less than 4g, (eg 3.99g, 3.95g, 3.9g) and some with a mass greater than 4 g (eg 4.01g, 4.05g, 4.1g), but they are all have a mass of about 4g.

(It is likely that they are normally distributed about the mean mass of 4g.)

How do you balance 10 nails on the head of 1 nail?

The nail to balance upon must be hammered into a block of wood so it stands unaided. Next lie one of the nails flat on the table. Lie 4 of the other nails heads along the shaft of the nail so the head is just on the other side of the lying nail. Lie the other 4 nails so the heads are in between the other nails. |-_-_-_- Sort of thing. Then lay the last nail on top of this with the hed of this nail in the opposite direction of the first nail you laid down. Now gently take both ends of the "sandwich" and balance on the head of the nail in the block. The weight of the nails hanging down will make the heads of the nails grip the top nail and stay there!
