1. Indices An Index is an arbitrarily defined number that provides a measure of scale. e.g. Level of achievement: 4 Above standard 3 At Standard 2 More than passable but below standard 1 Passable R Below a pass

2. BMI e.g. 3 BMI (Body Mass Index) BMI = mass/height 2 (where mass is in Kilograms and height is in meters) For a 79 Kg person 1.72 meters tall BMI = 79/1.72 2 = 23.67

3. Slugging Percentage SP=total Bases/total at bats = (# home runs*4+ # Triples*3 + # doubles*2+#base hits)/total at bat The above index is an alternative to using batting average to account that the contribution of each hit could be different.
