Half the students are below average! This is outrageous!

Below the median

Unless scores follow a standard (or any other symmetric) distribution

median is an average

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's absolutely not. Median is a value in the middle of a sorted set and average is, well, average. In the set of 1, 7, 10: 7 is median and 6 is average.

I'm surprised it's only 25%. These days, I'd figure at least 40% would be in the lowest quartile. Has anyone checked the math on this?
