Congrats for having a shot, sadly that doesn't answer the questions posed in the slightest. Again, why does the GP assume that a full half are distinctly lower

Again, why does the GP assume that a full half are distinctly lower than "average understanding" ? Why the assumption that multiple numbers cannot share an average understanding?
- d1sxeyes 2mo agoIt was a joke, you are, of course, technically correct, there’s no requirement for the mean and median to be the same.
- defrost 2mo agoFair point, in my time zone it was late, I was crabby, and there was a surrounding context of "bad statistics" comments. That said, If the mean and median were the same your statement would still not be always true. For more than one reason.
- d1sxeyes 2mo agoNo harm done :) I’m interested, in what cases would it not be true if we assume “average” here to be “median”? I can only think of one: if we consider “understanding” to be discrete rather than continuous.
