Rocket owners average age!

[TriumPhil]

We've a pretty mean average here, pushing closer to 58, I'd guess. Common wisdom suggests staying away from or off of the median, as it can be a dangerous place.

 

[DaddyRabbit]

I was hoping to get the average above my age.. 63... but it ain't happening!

 

[idk]

Mean, median, or mode, no matter which way you look at it, I am (once again) above average.

 

[Steel]

It's been a long time since I've felt like a youngster.

 

[RocketRoger]

Thinking I'm 11.7% above average. My high school teachers would be so proud of me.

 

[Steel]

I've always been below average, but now it's a good thing.

 

[idk]

It's been a long time since I've felt like a youngster.

I often feel like a youngster, but I find them harder to get as the years go by.

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.

Those seem to be the same thing. I went and found this:
1. Average can be in mean (arithmetic mean), median, or mode. Mean is basically a form of describing an average of the sample.
2. Mean can be in many various types too, but only the arithmetic mean is considered as a form of average.
3. ‘Average’ is usually used in casual English conversation, while ‘mean’ is usually used in technical language.
