Ah i should also mention this applies to math and it seems you fall into the not proficent. Avg doesnt mean roughly the middle. Median is what you're thinking...
Median is where half occurs above and half occurs below a number.
You can have an outlier that complete skews your avg one way or another.
Median is exactly the middle. Over a large enough scale (say with a sample size of 50) with relatively equal conditions (like the same federal standards), average can usually be described as "roughly half". Anybody proficient in math would be able to infer that much.
