A market might have a small quantity traded at a high price in one year, and a larger quantity traded at a low price in another year. If one has data on the quantities traded each year in a market, one can compute the average quantity traded over time. Using appropriate demand and supply graphs, explain how speculators act as a sort of "averaging" effect on markets.
