What if everyone settled for average?

If everyone settled for average, that would then become the best. Since there will always be someone who will settle for below average, the old average is no longer the new average, that now exists between average and below average. The new average is now lower than the old average which is now higher than average. If everyone settles for the new average, the same thing will happen, So It can`t be done. Did that make any sense ???

That probably depends on opinion. Everyone has a different one.

The problem is incompletely or improperly described.\n\nEach member of the population has some characteristic value.  The mean is the average of this value taken over the entire population, which, assuming each member is an equal contributor, is M = sum(values)/N, where N is the population.  If each member has the same value, say 515, then mean would be 515 and the standard deviation would be zero.  If each even-numbered member has value 1030, and each odd-number member has value 0, the mean is 515 and the standard deviation is (approximately) 515.\n\nSo, you have provided enough information to solve the problem satisfactorily.

I had heard the equivalent of 1 beer an hour, on average.  Everyone's different and change over time.

unless we start over...I don't know. Sorry. \n\nOne person at a time, if you have a different opinion than someone else...either learn from each other or let it go\n\nWe have so much on this earth..enough for everyone but us humans.....we are pathetic.

It would suck.  Everyone would be stressed and on edge and there would probably be more health problems than there are today.

There is nothing wrong with being average. Most people are average and do just fine. Now on to the self-improvement: \nhttp://www.studygs.net/ for school work and  http://web.tickle.com/ for inner self improvment. Always remember the best way to improve is to Know Thy Self

Everyone is different.  That's the answer to your question.

Probably, as everyone is jittery

You have to know the pressure for each hour and then divide by 24\nand you have your average.

I guess you mean in MLB?\n\nWell, there are many guessings, but usually pitchers would get better, and suprising players will get back into average.  Now everyone can make assumptions - Manny, Ichiro, Johan Santana would get better.  Shelton, Craig Wilson will go down...

I'd need more information to give a better answer but I suspect that what you want is people/phone.  This is a little like deciding that when you call a number (phone) that all residents are in agreement.  This is valid is you think that the response that you get can be considered to be the response of all the residents.\n\nSometimes it helps to look at extrema.  How would it effect your results if you called two households:\n1) 1 phone, 100 people\n2) 100 phones, 1 person\n\nAlso, either of your ratios is one if the household has one phone and one resident.  How does it change taking a slight excursion from that?
