Script Preparation code:

const smallArray = Array.from({ length: 10 }, (_, i) => i);

// 1. Native avgBy (using reduce for sum and dividing by length)
const avgByNative = (arr, fn) => {
  const sum = arr.reduce((acc, item) => acc + fn(item), 0);
  return sum / arr.length;
};

// 2. Lodash meanBy
const avgByLodash = (arr, fn) => _.meanBy(arr, fn);

// 3. Lodash using sumBy and dividing by length
const avgByLodashUsingSumBy = (arr, fn) => {
  const sum = _.sumBy(arr, fn);
  return sum / arr.length;
};
