A number !

I am going to read 10 books in a certain period of time. The number of pages of the books varies between 40 and 1000 pages.
I need to finish them in almost the same time, so I must read each book with a certain rate.
What I need is a number to indicate the priority of each book. Can statistics provide a formula to find this number ? :rolleyes:

The priority of each book is decided by you, not stats
 
No ,no ,...

In other word ,...
Forget it.

Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
