Finding the Average of Sense and the Average of Nonsense, According to Billboard's Top 100, Within My Collection of Cassette Singles
Finding the Average of Sense and the Average of Nonsense, According to Billboard's Top 100, Within My Collection of Cassette Singles

I set up a small shelf with my collection of singles. You could listen to tracks 1 and 2, described in the following two equations... (Please note that because my collection is still growing, the following equations are according to my collection at the time the piece was exhibitted)

Sum of Highest Charted Positions = 715

Average of Highest Charted Position = (715 / 34 songs) = 21.02941176470588235

Therefore, mixing these singles together at equal volume produces a new single that peaks at 21.02941176470588235 on the Billboard charts.

Listen to this new single.


Track 2

Cassette singles in my collection that never made the Billboard's Top 100:

Artist Song Highest Charted Position
The Time Why You Get Funky On Me N/A
Sir Mix-A-Lot Beepers N/A
MCJ & Cool G Smooth As Silk N/A
Mr. Lee I Like The Girls N/A
Big Daddy Kane Ain't No Half-Steppin' N/A
Heavy D. & The Boyz Gyrlz, They Love Me N/A

Sum of Highest Charted Positions = 6N/A

Average of Highest Charted Position = (6N/A) / 6 songs = N/A

Therefore, mixing these singles together at equal volume produces a new single that peaks at N/A on the Billboard charts. N/A is undefined, so the answer is ambiguous.

Listen to this new single.
