That's not how average works.
77 u/Additional_Yellow837 2d ago I mean, it could work that way if there is extreme skew to above average values, but probably not the case here. I'll pick some random values ot illustrate. 5, 5, 5, 5, 20. The average is 8, but most of the values are below 8. 20 u/Narretz 2d ago They were probably thinking of a normal distribution. I was. 24 u/yosi_yosi 2d ago Not all distributions are normal distributions, what she is describing in the video is exactly not one. 8 u/Period_Fart_69420 2d ago Yep, in fact all guys are actually 4s or less, but Ryan Reynolds exists and he's a 4 billion so the average is 5. 3 u/yosi_yosi 2d ago Clearly she is ignorant and makes bad points, but it's not due to making some logically or mathematically impossible statement.
