So the metaphor that i found that works the best for this is to think about class scores.
00:05
Suppose that your class average is 80%.
00:11
And now your next test, which is the marginal test, right? because the marginal means the next or the last is equal to 40%.
00:22
This means that your average is going to fall, right? because your last test is dragging the average down.
00:32
Here what we've got, we know that the average product is equal to eight and the marginal product is equal to four.
00:45
And so we have the exact same thing happening, right? the average is getting dragged down, right? our average was eight, but now we're going to put some things into the average that are lower than eight.
00:59
So when we combine an average of eight with some new things that are less than eight, the resulting collective average, is got to be less than eight, down by low addition.
01:14
So just like your test score is going to get dragged down when your next test sucks.
01:20
Here, when the marginal product sucks, that is the next amount of production is really inefficient, that means our average product is going to get dragged down as well.
01:30
So we can't say that marginal product will increase...
