anything 5 or greater rounds up
There has been a move....from mathematicians...to remove the bias in rounding. It goes like this. If it ends in greater than 5, round up, less than 5, round down. If it ends if five "round" to the nearest even. Thus
number/ rounded
34.3/34
34.5/34
34.7/37
35.5/36
This better way of rounding is not popular, but I have seen some statistical databases which use it. It in fact, is a "fairer" way of estimating values.
