- Detrytus 3y agoActually, median == mean for IQ, and for any other thing that follows normal (Gaussian) distribution.
- krapht 3y agoDepending on the context, any representative measure of central tendency, such as the mid-range, median, mode or geometric mean, can be called the average.
- OrderlyTiamat 3y agoA weird point to make, because in the context of a measure specifically constructed to have a normal distribution (IQ), the median definitely is equal to the mean. You are right in the general sense, and wrong in this instance.
