That's most likely, and I agree that it's likely in the case mentioned that the data is not skewed. However, the main reason I posted is because the post I was responding to appeared to make the assumption that nearly half of the data points will always be below the mean, and I was pointing out that there are some distributions where you should not expect that to be the case because they are skewed.
- laumars 11y agoI made no such assumption. Why would you even assume that I expect this to always be the case? As already pointed out, it's pretty easy to make an assumption about this specific example since we're told that close to half of the values are below the median.
