Do the math

So, a cop wants to find out how many suspects there usually are in an unsolved case. He adds up all the unsolved cases and all the suspects, divides the number of cases into the number of suspects and comes up with 3.8. He writes a report to the chief that says there are, "on average, 4 suspects for each unsolved case." Would that be known as rounding up the usual suspects?

Just asking.

And maybe that officer, while rounding up those USUAL suspects might have added:

"I am making out the report now. We haven't quite decided yet whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape."
