Hi;

Good one!

Why would you see that rule? Members do not know anyone else's emails.

Re: Average - I really need help

Re: Average - I really need help

Hi;

Interesting thought. Moderators are supposed to uphold rules not bend and never break them. At least not knowingly.

I will place message at the bottom of this thread after I have convinced you that I am right. If he has subscribed to this post like he should then he already knows their is activity here.

My message will mention bob's answer, giving him full credit.

If you do not let me then the problem is on your side. What would Mr F. do? A good man by the way.

Re: Average - I really need help

hi guys,

This could go on all night so here's a tie-breaker.

Moderators must be allowed to email the boss (MIF) so ask him what to do.

ps.  OP will never find the last useful post unless you each delete all your rallies.

Re: Average - I really need help

Hi bob;

At the bottom of it all I will post the last reply with your answer and due credit.

I could PM him to ask him but if he had to email people everytime an answer left something out then he would have time for nothing else.

Not my suggestion.  Each member has the power to delete their own posts.

Re: Average - I really need help

Hi;

No one is saying you are stupid, I am trying to make the last post as I promised. So please no more replies.

Hi fretsonfireking;

This was your original question.

If the loan of 10 workers are R 650 and the highest worker gets R2000, describe the statistical term for the R 2000. Can someone someone plz tell me what the statistical term for it is?

bob bundy provides this answer.

hi fretsonfireking

When one value is a long way from all the rest like this ,
it is called an 'outlier'.  (= lies a long way out from the rest)
