Isn't 50% of the population below the median IQ? 😀
In a perfect sd they are one in the same....i think.

But seriously the world has been designed and built by the upper 25% (WAG) of intellegence but is run by all. Jordan Peterson has a good youtube 10min or so video on it. Pretty scary when you stop to consider the facts.....like 16% or so is below 85. (According to google)...that would make the world an extreemly complicated place for them.

Heck it's complicated for me and mine is 152ish (maybe more).

The airlines simply made up: near miss. They say that if 2 planes almost collide, it's a near miss. Bull****, my friend. It's a near hit! A collision is a near miss.

Mean and median are the same in any distribution that is symmetric or in other words not skewed. The normal distribution is a common example of a symmetrical distribution.

That's a scary number. Very scary.

P.S. Internet reception is surprisingly good here under my bed.

My biggest question is where was the big social distancing, mask wearing campaign back in the 2017-18 flu season? Oh wait we have a vaccine for it...nvm

To put that big scary number into context 43% of that is from Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities: https://www.forbes.com/sites/theapot.../#6b30784874cd

Scroll down to the bar graph...

For the hysterical perspective select "Show Totals". US is clearly the worst, if that's the poltical narrative you're looking for.

For the mathematical statistical perspective, select "Show Rates", then sort by "Fatality Rate"

Now for more math and science (I know, this is getting really hard), here's the Per Capita stats....
