    Yes, but you forget: lots of people are stupid.

      George Carlin never fails to be accurate: Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are even stupider than that.

        He’s not accurate, though. That’d be the median person. With the average person I’d expect much more than half to be stupider than that.

          What measure are we using? Standard IQ is normal distributed so the mean and median are the same

          Mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency aka average. It’s usually context that indicates which measure we are using when we say average. A lot of the time, when speaking of the average person, we’re using the median or mode rather than the mean.

          How many fingers does your average person have?
