The fact that half the population has bellow average inteligence is a default of the meaning of the word "average", not a proven scientific fact.

That is called the "midrange". From: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda351.htm # mean - the mean is the sum of the data points divided by the number of data points. That is, YBAR = SUM[Y(i)/N] where the summation is for 1 to N The mean is that value that is most commonly referred to as the average. We will use the term average as a synonym for the mean and the term typical value to refer generically to measures of location. # median - the median is the value of the point which has half the data smaller than that point and half the data larger than that point. That is, if X1, X2, ... ,XN is a random sample sorted from smallest value to largest value, then the median is defined as: MEDIAN = Y((N+1)/2) if N is odd MEDIAN = (Y(N/2) + Y((N/2)+1))/2 if N is even # mode - the mode is the value of the random sample that occurs with the greatest frequency. It is not necessarily unique. The mode is typically used in a qualitative fashion. For example, there may be a single dominant hump in the data perhaps two or more smaller humps in the data. This is usually evident from a histogram of the data. (and, from near the bottom of the page, among the Alternative Measures of Location) Mid-range = (smallest + largest)/2. Tom Davidson Richmond, VA
From: slavek krepelka on 18 Jan 2006 03:31 Yes, you are quite correct Tom I just did not want to flood him with that complexity :-) My kind regards, Slavek. tadchem wrote: > > "slavek krepelka" <slavek.krepelka(a)sympatico.ca> wrote in message > news:43CDB23C.CEC86D77(a)sympatico.ca... > > Mr. HAMMOND, > > > > Average is calculated as the point half way between minimum and maximum. > > That is called the "midrange". > > From: > http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda351.htm > > # mean - the mean is the sum of the data points divided by the number of > data points.

Worse than 'flooding' him with complexity is to mislead him with another easily corrected error, or to allow him to continue with his own original error without correcting it. Still, I get a similar feeling from trying to enlighten Hammond that I get from running glass jars through the dishwasher before I toss them into the bin to be recycled. The phrase 'exercise in futility' comes to mind, but I could use a little intellectual calisthenics once in a while. Tom Davidson Richmond, VA

In fact it's the top physicists who are really giving me the business. Please read my new thread entitled: SUPPRESSION OF HAMMOND BY S.P.R. which is posted on sci.physics.relativity and give me a comment about the performance of qualified physicists toward's Hammond. -- ======================================== SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF GOD WEBSITE http://geocities.com/scientific_proof_of_god mirror site: http://proof-of-god.freewebsitehosting.com ======================================== |
