median and the mean from of other pilgrim divisions

reassign individual accounts among the divisions Sales
Reps

Pilgrims share of the Syracuse area wholesale drug
business from 20% to 40%
Robert Jackson had concerns about reassignments
damaging sales force morale
Thomas is faced with a possible sales rep revolt
because of his proposed territory reorganization
