What I meant was that as long as the bits between the low temps come
to exactly the average temperature (so as to not make them below the
average, and therefore each side of that point would be considered to
be two events below the average). If that "high" went above the
average it would also increase the number of events that were above
average as well. Therefore to make sure that there were a greater
number of below-average-events the delimiters must stop at exactly the
average, and not go above it.
Hope that helps :-) |
