Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, while the phrase "at different average" appears in some contexts, particularly in scientific literature, Ludwig AI analysis indicates that it is grammatically incorrect and lacks clarity. The phrase is best avoided in favor of more precise alternatives such as "at varying averages", "at different average values", or similar constructions that specify the averaged quantity. Usage of this phrase undermines the formality expected in scientific writing, and clarity is always preferred. While it appears with common frequency, grammatical correctness should prevail.
