Averages ... seduce us away from minute observation.

Imagine if you had baseball cards that showed all the performance stats for your people: batting averages, home runs, errors, ERAs, win/loss records. You could see what they did well and poorly and call on the right people to play the right positions in a very transparent way.

You know the law of averages says: Anything will happen that can

A person working 45 hours per week averages 44% more income than someone working 40 hours per week. That's 44% more income for 13% more time.

Especially with sports cars, when you have got so many cars on the track with various degrees of competitiveness, then something will happen. It's the nature of racing, the law of averages. If you want to be a front-runner then you are going to have to push very hard, and collisions can happen.

The interesting thing about averages is that they hide the truth very effectively.

It's the law of averages: put in more, come out with more.

Fennel, which is the spice for Wednesdays, the day of averages, of middle-aged people. . . . Fennel . . . smelling of changes to come.

There's a game out there, and the stakes are high. And the guy who runs it figures the averages all day long and all night long. Once in a while he lets you steal a pot. But if you stay in the game long enough, you've got to lose. And once you've lost there's no way back, no way at all.

I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head.
Dizzy Dean

A want of the habit of observing and an inveterate habit of taking averages are each of them often equally misleading.
Florence Nightingale
Image
I have been luckier than the law of averages should allow. I could never be so lucky again.
Jimmy Doolittle

I abhor averages. I like the individual case. A man may have six meals one day and none the next, making an average of three meals per day, but that is not a good way to live.

In cricket, as in no other game, a great master may well go back to the pavilion scoreless.... In no other game does the law of averages get to work so potently, so mysteriously.
Neville Cardus

That's all baseball is, is numbers it's run by numbers, averages, percentage and odds. Managers make their decisions based on the numbers.
Rollie Fingers

Do not take yearly results too seriously. Instead, focus on four or five-year averages.

The top stars like Angelina, Cameron (Diaz), Sandra Bullock and probably now Jennifer Lawrence probably gets paid the same as their male counterparts. The problem is the averages. Because there are not enough parts for women to star in and get paid. So when you look at the total amount women make as compared to men it's paltry.
Amy Pascal

I feel like a fugitive from the law of averages.

Not a day goes by that I don't click on RealClearPolitics at least once, the presidential poll charts, graphs and moving averages are great. If RCP didn't already exist, somebody would have to invent it.
Charlie Cook

God isn't really interested in our batting averages.
Dale Murphy

Beware of averages. The average person has one breast and one testicle.
Dixie Lee Ray

Probably the most dramatic change in pitching I've observed in my years in baseball has been the disappearance of the knockdown or brushback pitch. This is why record numbers of home runs are flying out of ballparks, why earned run averages are soaring, and why there are so few twenty game winners in the majors.

Psycho? The woman's senile. We had to stop at about thirty gas stations on the way over here. Finally I got tired of getting out of the car and showing her which was the Men's and which was the Women's, so I let her pick them herself. I worked out a system. The law of averages. I laid money on her and she came out about fifty-fifty.
John Kennedy Toole

Don't leave it to the law of averages to make you break even.
