This video tutorial uses a variety of examples to introduce the concept of averages.

The instructor explains that finding the average, or mean, involves taking a total value and dividing it by the number of units represented by that total. For example, if three students score 90, 85 and 80 respectively on a test, the total value of their marks is 255. To find the average mark, it is necessary to divide the total of 255 by three, the number of students, which shows they had an average score of 85.

Series: Video tutorials – Credit Canada

Authors: Neil McArtney

This video tutorial is part of a series prepared to mark Credit Education Week Canada (CEWC), an annual event designed to promote sound personal money management.

In this video, the host discusses options for paying for a car, and how to decide if a particular car is affordable. She suggests that before purchasing a vehicle, the potential buyer try setting aside each month a sum of money equivalent to one car payment and one monthly insurance premium, along with some money for maintenance. After three months, if it has been a struggle to find the money, then rethink the car purchase.

She also explains the pros and cons of purchasing versus leasing a car. Purchasing means the buyer owns the car at the end of the term; there are no restrictions on mileage; the owner can sell the vehicle; and insurance rates will be lower. Leasing means payments will be lower; the buyer has the option of replacing the vehicle more frequently; and maintenance costs will be lower.

To help make that decision, there is a buy/lease calculating tool available at http://www.cewc.ca.
