Huh? <<is either smaller than and the average >>
I think you want to show that the average velocity is smaller or the same as the average speed.
Remember, velocity is a vector, with direction. Average velociyt is the displacement (Final-initial)/time . Average speed does not include intermediate changes in direction.
For instance, consider going from A to B then Back to A.
average veloctiy would be zero (no change in position). Average speed would not be figured that way
