Transverse-energy and charged-particle pseudorapidity densities at midrapidity and their ratio, dE
T/dη|mid/dN
ch/dη|mid, are evaluated in a statistical model with longitudinal and transverse flows for the wide range of colliders, from AGS to RHIC at 
= 200 GeV. Evaluations are done at freeze-out parameters obtained from independent fits to observed particle yields and pT spectra. Decays of hadron resonances are treated thoroughly and are included in derivations of dE
T/dη|mid and dN
ch/dη|mid. The predictions of the model agree well with the experimental data. However, some (explicable) overestimation of the ratio has been observed.
