The EDD rule states that the average past due is the average of the past due times for all jobs that are past due. In this case, there are 3 jobs that are past due, with past due times of 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours. The average of these times is (1 + 2 + 3) / 3 = 2 hours. Therefore, the average past due is greater than 1 but fewer than or equal to 2 hours.
