50% are below the median.
- heavyset_go 5y agoMedian is a type of average.

- selcuka 5y ago> Grades are normalized on a gaussian curve. Are we talking about grades? Honestly when I see "50% of doctors are below average" I intuitively think of some other metric, such as the correct/incorrect diagnosis ratio, or the number of people that died because of their errors. Maybe it's just me but their uni (?) grades never comes to my mind.
