Rocket owners average age!

Where I come from "Ex" means leaving before you get your "20".....

Never heard that one before - interesting though.
BUT I had plenty over 20 in when I retired anyway.

So, Boca Raton Boy, you riding up for RAA in June?
I love how those Cajun cities roll off the tongue! Baton Rouge is my fav.

OK - having a brain turned to mush by a recent statistics class, I did some crunching based on the first 10 pages of responses here:

Average Age = 55.6
Median Age = 56
Mode = 57

So at 50, I'm a young-un....

Now tell everybody why the average and median are different???

Pretty simple.

The "average", know in statistics as the "arithmetic mean", is derived by diving the gross raw sum by the number of respondents.

On the other hand, the median is the value which lies in the precise midpoint of the field; that is to say the value where exactly 50% of the values lie above that number and 50% of the values lie below it.
