Average velocity as a weighted mean
.
The proportional of the total time that ##v_1## applies is ##\frac{v_2}{v_1+v_2}##. This is a relative weighing of ##v_2##. And vice versa.

$$\bar{v}=\frac{2L}{L/v_1+L/v_2}=\frac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}$$ I am not sure what are harmonic mean and weighted average you say in this result.

Here it is tacitly assumed that ##x\gg n##. Under this approximation $$x(x-1)(x-2)....(x-(n-1)) \approx x^n$$

The mechanism described there is not what you propose in your original post.

It's not a question of being precise. It's a question of the area definitely lying within the range given.

PS 20.5 is not an upper limit for the area. It would have to be ##19 \pm 2##, assuming the error must be symmetric.
