Bonus bonus bonus: the point of this thread was to show people that half the population would have an IQ below the median, not below the average. Median is evenly distributed by definition, average is not.

He posted:

10 5 1

Average is 8

That’s not a typo, it’s bad math.

Yeah I'm not sure if the post in the IQ thread was a joke or serious.

Since IQ is essentially normally distributed the average and median are the same. So, yes, half of the population is below the average.

Actually mean is one way to find an average.

Usually a type of mean is needed. Mean is more specific of a term than average.

Average is the sum of all the values divided by how many values there are. 

Median is the middle value

Which is the reason that the median is used in some forms of measurement because it is less affected by statistical outliers
