    Find pivot index of the array so that partition and K^th element selection can be made. This in particular picks a average of begin and end indices
    
    Specified by:
    
    pivotIndex in interface PivotingStrategy
    
    Parameters:
    
    work - data array
    
    begin - index of the first element of the slice
