This could be explained by the 250-300 M you refer to not matching the same distribution due to 1. this seems to be google ad network specific, not google services per-see 2. the analysis seem to only include users which do in general gene

that isn't how the median works median is the sample in the middle of the distribution (when it is treated as a sequence of samples ordered by their value), e.g. if you have sort(seq(dist))=[100$, 5$, 5$, 3$, 1$] the median is 5$ avera

This is a good example of why averages (by themself) can be very misleading: - avg. $1_605 - but mean is $760, i.e. half the users generate $760 or less I also wouldn't be surprised if the sampling distribution has two maxima even if s
