In the
last one you and other misunderstood me what I calculated with
medium
speed.

'medium' speed? Do you mean an average speed, the median? Or
that the
current can change speed at will, and 16.2 knots is second gear?

But WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Is that 17?)... 'medium'?

It's the best 'hint' so far -- about the source
of her convoluted disclosures -- think 'Rom'.
(And it's not computer memory).

Anyone of you two naysayers ever studying Mathematic Statistic?

I have, at the undergrad and at the graduate level. I am quite certain
Lloyd has done more than I have.

I asked you a question specifically about statistics: to whit,
"'medium' speed? Do you mean an average speed, the *median*?..."

You failed to answer my question, but instead resorted (boringly,
repetitively) to personal abuse. Can you answer my question? Will you
answer my question? Here is is again:

Q: "'medium' speed? Do you mean an average speed, the *median*?..."

A: (Inger please fill in your answer)

If not.
Please do before you start complaining!

I was asking a question, not complaining. Stupid of you not to know
the
difference. Sad case.

Now, since you have gotten your little fit of pique out of the way,
how
about answering my question. In case you have forgotten it:

"'medium' speed? Do you mean an average speed, the *median*?..."

Good night, Inger. Come back when you have a civil tongue in your
head.


I can give you an answer, Tom. Swedish medel- in compound words can be
translated in a number of ways, one of which is "medium": medelhård
means medium-hard, medeldistans would be middle distance, medelfel is
standard error, medelsvensson means your average Swede, medelvattenstånd
is mean water level, medelväre means mean value or average.

And, to get to the heart of the matter, medelhastighet is average speed.
