Re: Weighted Mean
Hi MathsIsFun;
Looks good and is easy to understand. Good work.
But I would still buy the Canon.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Weighted Mean
hi MathsIsFun,
Another clear explanation with good examples; well done!
I'm just wondering if it is 'safe' to use actual company names.
Could you be open to legal nastiness, because, for example, Canon might argue you have promoted a rival's product unfairly. I think UK exam boards get around this by making up names eg. Sany and Conan. Just a thought for your protection. ???

Re: Weighted Mean
Good idea Bob. Sany and Conan sound fun! Also Sonu and Canan ... or Soni and Canyn?

Re: Weighted Mean
On second thoughts, you'd better make Conan the preferred make. Else out of the legal frying pan and into the barbarian fire.

Re: Weighted Mean
Hi,
How about Cannon and Sonny?!
