An invaluable tool in calculating where a process is from a mathematical point of view is the ol' Bell Curve. Most things (milk expirations, crop yields, the words I type in a blog post) all have fairly Normal distributions, or can be fitted into a psuedo-normal curve. Once you have this information it is only a few clicks of a calculator, the placement of reading glasses on the nose and then looking up the z value on the chart above to find where you sit under the curve.....
Yeah, what he said =:o)
