Not necessarily, but 50% are below the median.
- Muzza 15y agoThe median is an average.
- harryh 15y agoA lot of people interpret average as meaning "mean". Really average is a stupid ambiguous word that should never be used. Be clear: say mean or median, but never average.
- officemonkey 15y ago>Finally, 50% of any group are below average. Yes, language is ambiguous. However, people arguing over the clarity of the above statement is just nerdy pedantry.
- mreid 15y agoI think you meant to say "pedantic nerdery".
- endian 15y ago> Not necessarily, but 50% are below the median. Not necessarily. The numbers could all be the same.
