Abstract

The average of ratios (r) is often approximated by the ratio of averages (q), but the reliability of this depends on the distributions of numerator and denominator, neither of which is necessarily known. Here bounds on their relative size (q/r) and difference (q – r) are determined using Karamata's inequality.
