The median value of [1, 2, 3, 4] is 2.5
- addaon 3y agoSure, but 2 is the only even prime, so this is super constrained.
- andrewflnr 3y agoThat's the mean.
- CrazyStat 3y agoBut the median of [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4] is 2. As the individuals observed values collect more and more repetitions—as they do when making a list of the second prime factor, for example—it becomes increasingly unlikely that the median will be between two values, not equal to one of the values. It would be surprising if the median second prime factor was not a prime.
