That actually should be a = max_freq + min_freq, because I want
(max_freq + min_freq) / 2 = a / 2.

It is somewhat imbalanced, though. If all of the values of x are
equally probable (or equally frequent), the probability of running
above the middle frequency is lower than the probability of running
below it.
