The phrase "extent of average" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It typically refers to the degree or amount of something that is considered average or typical. Example: The extent of average rainfall in this region is approximately 30 inches per year.
At one point, Ian McEwan, having read a New Yorker piece James wrote on the extent of the average German's complicity in the Holocaust, tells him: "That is what you should be doing".
This pretty much summarizes the extent of your average person's knowledge of metabolism, even if they wouldn't classify this piece of information as being an integral component of metabolism (which is a word strewn about typically in reference to how fast or slow someone "breaks" down something they've recently ingested).
Not that honey-oats ever hurt anyone, but if that's the extent of the average person's proximity to poetry (and not very good poetry at that), what are the chances it will be truly accessible to the mind and heart?
Using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U-test, we compared the extent of daily average postapplication chlorpyrifos levels between the "high" and the "low" homes.
The extent of exchange averaged nearly 70%, quantified by protein microarray of individual trabeculae.
However, when two Tyr residues are introduced to produce YGWALP23, the extent of dynamic averaging increases dramatically, reminiscent of the earlier WALP peptides.
Further prognostic stratification was achieved when the extent of methylation (averaged across CpG sites per sample and across methylated samples per case) was considered.
The extent of rotamer averaging is related to the major rotamer population by the relationship pmajor ≡ max[ p60, p180, p 60], where more rotamer averaging is associated with a smaller pmajor value.
Key findings are (a) an unexpectedly low extent of dynamic averaging for FGWALP23 and (b) a preference of azimuthal rotation of WGWALP23 that depends upon the identity (thickness) of the host lipid bilayer membrane.
The extent of rotational averaging depends on the mobility of the lipid and primarily reflects the phase state, that is, the more confined environment of the gel phase and the more mobile environment of the fluid Lα phase.
