The average treats every half-hour the same. “Typical home pays” weights each one by how much a typical household uses then (more in the evening), so it's closer to what you'd pay without shifting your use. The price cap rate is Ofgem's average across the country for people paying by Direct Debit. Treat it as a rough guide: the cap is a little different in each region.
