Don't mean to p1ss on your parade (Ok I do ) but someone has tested your hypothesis and confirmed that there is NO correlation between how many Nobel prizes a country has won and it's average IQ.

I'm merely referring to some statistical analysis which completely debunks your claims regarding the number of Nobel prizes a country has and it's average IQ.
But, to answer your question, yes a country can have a mean IQ. You do understand what mean average refers to, don't you? What you should really be asking is, what is the confidence level of this average and has this been taken into account in the coefficient calculations. I'll leave that to you to work outI am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Originally posted by Whorty View PostGood question .... why don't you do a bit of research and come back an tell us what you found out.
I have, Scotland has 15 Nobel prizes, the French have 69.
They have about 10 times the population so what we have do is decide if Scottish people are very clever, or the French are very thick.Comment

And no, you haven't researched WHY certain countries may have won more prizes than others ... you have simply listed from Wiki the number won by a select number of countries.

The standard response in polite society when I comment that I voted to leave is for people to find a trait that distances themselves from me.
"What do you do?" "Where do you live?"
They want to know that the markers that they have striven to achieve are not polluted.Comment
