Go up one level in this thread

Of course you can combine TPRs of different programs as per common sense.

However, if you wish to be mathematically absolutely correct and precise, all
you need do is say, "The average of the programs' TPRs is ...".

A little algebra will quickly show that the the average of the programs' TPRs is
exactly the TPR of the programs taken as a group.  This change of wording gives
you an unassailable mathematical position.  And I think the common sense meaning
is not changed.  If you don't want to bother with this distinction, I won't
mind. :)

Cheers,

Walter

P.S. Chris - When you say TPR, it would be nice to say whose TPR - Smirin's or
the programs'.
