^Its called an average. It includes both holiday and non-holiday considerations. Rather than separate the 2, he includes the total of all of them and just gives one simple average per month. Much easier that way. |
The time frame may be right but those "per month" numbers are useless.

No they are not. Ugh, do you not know what an average is? The number he is giving as "per month" is no different to what you suggested doing. Obviously some months outside of holidays it would never reach that amount, but the months during holidays it would exceed that amount and the overall average would turn out about right.
Trust us. I really don't know how else to explain these simple calculations, but they are perfect exactly as they are.

Trust me, those numbers will never work out, same as being useless. what can you do with them? It's like saying theres an average of 100 Christmas trees sold per month last year at your store. Yet you've sold 0 this month. Does this mean you will fail at selling 1200 trees this year?Of course not.
those #'s = useless

Ah, there's your problem. You are assuming that he is saying it will fail when he's not. An average is simply an average. I did not see him supply any judgement of whether he though his numbers were likely or not, he just supplied them. Just because you miss the average one month doesn't mean you won't make it up in other months. No one is saying that if you don't hit the average every month you will fail, that's why it is an average because it takes into account both the high points and the low points. These numbers are far from useless. I still can't believe you aren't getting this....

I still don't get how they are usefull.....
