Talk:Weight average molecular weight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As written on Sep 30, 2004: "Intuitively, if the weight average molecular weight is w, and you pick a random monomer, then the polymer it belongs to will have a weight of w on average."

<--- this is not intuitive... I'm a student, and I always have problems with that kind of statement. Is there a link to a mathematics section on different methods of averaging to better explain this? --ChicagoGuy321 06:16, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Agreed. It's not intuitive. I'll try to write something better.
