[Orca-users] Question regarding Statistical Calculations...

[Sanford, Klaus G.]

Dear Sir or Ma'am,

 

  What is the statistical definition and value of taking the minimum and
maximum values in a data set and taking their average.

 

(e.g.  sample size=30 ;  min =8  ; max =79 ; take avg = 8+79 / 2 = 43.5)

 

  So 43.5 is the avg of the max and min value but what is the term for this
calculation?  Thanks.

 

v/r,
