Not to be picky, but the US stats are mean, which is different from the median.
- dx034 9y agoBut median should be the one to use I guess? Or is there any reason to prefer the mean for life expectancy?
- eatbitseveryday 9y agoMedian makes sense to me :) I was just pointing out the discrepancy -- cannot (should not) specifically make a contrast between median of one data set and mean of another.
