I will however note that they do have different tastes. Think of it as if you had a gala apple v. a fuji apple. Edited by JChristoff 2008-09-17 1:25 PM |

Champion 4942 Richmond, VA | Subject: RE: Average of orange and apple= ? I've been staring at technical documents for 2 weeks, so my first thought is that you need a normalization factor (hence the phrase comparing apples to oranges doesn't make any sense)
normalize the apple portion normalize the orange portion and then add, dividing by 2.
otherwise, this seems like dividing by zero |

You can price it as apples and find you have oranges. You have no normalizing factor to get to base value. Good Thanks... Good luck at IMmooo '09 BTW... Nice seeing you around again. |

I will however note that they do have different tastes. Think of it as if you had a gala apple v. a fuji apple. I don't think nectarine and peach are that different in tastes. How about a pluot? Oh... that's the average of plum and apricot. jszat - 2008-09-17 2:34 PM condorman - 2008-09-17 1:29 PM I've been staring at technical documents for 2 weeks, so my first thought is that you need a normalization factor (hence the phrase comparing apples to oranges doesn't make any sense)

They wanted an average of what the value might be. Um, huh? Well you have to normalize them first. Maybe convert to Euros. Get the average in Euros then convert back to either currencies.
What am I talking about? |
