shrimp statistics

[Karl L. Wuensch]

I just ate a bowl full of shrimp.  I took out two at a time, shelled them, dipped the larger one in horseradish and ate it, reserving the smaller one for my spouse.  If I had the weight of each shrimp in the bowl, what simple statistic would be a good estimate of the mean difference between the weight of the shrimp I ate and the weight of the shrimp reserved for my spouse?  Karl L.
