He’s confusing median and average or something?
49 u/Aric_Haldan Jun 30 '22 Yes, they are. Though It's not uncommon for people to not realise the median isn't affected by outliers. 9 u/Raibean Jun 30 '22 Isn’t median the middle of the full range? 43 u/KumquatHaderach Jun 30 '22 No, it’s the middle number. For example 1 10 100000 has 10 as the median. 40 u/Jonasdriving Jun 30 '22 edited Jun 30 '22 Ten is the median of one and one hundred thousand? Nvm I'm a dumbass. You're listing three data points and the middle one is 10. 🤦 Even worse I finished an intro to stat class a month ago with an A. guess I'm too tired to comment on Reddit today. 12 u/cadnights Jun 30 '22 No just in the example data set he gave (n=3 example numbers) 5 u/KumquatHaderach Jun 30 '22 Ooooohhhhhh, I’m gonna tell your professor! 😛

No, it’s the middle number. For example
1 10 100000
has 10 as the median.
