- On average teenagers get 7 hours of sleep a night.
- The average get 7 hours of sleep a night.
Is the second version acceptable (The average get..) or totally wrong (TW) Please indicate.
Thank you.

| It is acceptable as long as you have previously identified that you are talking about teenagers. |

But I think that even then most people would say 'The average one gets 7 hours of sleep a night.' |
