    Part I Numerical Reasoning Section 6 Using Averages, Weighted Averages, and Indices Section 6 Using Averages, Weighted Averages, and Indices Main Ideas Since middle school, you have worked with mean, median, and possibly midrange. Each of these is an average, or measure of center. • Averages and Weighted Averages • Weighted Averages in Sports EXAMPLE 1 Computing Mean, Median, and Midrange • Indices If the scores of 10 students on a test are 100, 95, 95, 95, 90, 88, 87, 86, 82, and 82, then (a) the mean is the sum of the data values divided by the number of values: 900/10 = 90 What About Mode? (b) the median is the middle value of the sorted data, or the mean of the two Historically, a mode of a data set often middle values: (90 + 88)/2 = 89 was considered to be a measure of center. A mode for a set of data is a (c) the midrange is the mean of the maximum and the minimum: (100 + 82)/2 = 91 peak within the data. A data set can have more than one mode.

    Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 2

    Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 2 • The first wave of free agents entered the marketplace on Oct. 1 as 43 players elected free agency, the majority of them under Article XX(D) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. It reads in part: “Any player who has at least three years of major league service, or who qualified as a “Super Two” player . and whose contract is assigned outright to a minor league club may elect, in lieu of accepting such assignment, to become a free agent. In the event that such a player with at least three years of major league service does not elect free agency in lieu of accepting such assignment, he may elect free agency between the end of the then current major league season and the next following Oct. 15, unless such player is returned to a major league roster prior to making such election.” • The recalls in this installment are paperwork moves owing to the fact that, with the minor league season and playoffs concluded, players can no longer be sent on optional assignments. According to MLR 11(b)4 “A Major League Club may recall a player not to report after the conclusion of the championship season of the Minor League Club to which the player is on optional assignment but no later than October 1” Arizona Diamondbacks Signed: RHP Seth Lintz (Laredo (American Association)), RHP Dustin Loggins (Kansas City (American Association)), RHP Jacob Roberts (Bridgeport (Atlantic)), LHP Sean Mahley (Schaumburg (Frontier)), OF Dan Bowman (Lake Erie (Frontier)), OF Steve McQuail (Schaumburg (Frontier)) Elected free agency:
