Answers.com - What are some swedish stereotypes

I've got it.

German.

The stereotype fits but I don't believe the Germans ever ruled GB.
And my ancestors did that.

Mean, median and mode (and SD and range whilst we're at it).

The average person in the UK has less than two arms, legs, thumbs, big toes, ears and eyes.

Yeah. What you said.

98 point something % of the UK population has more than the average number of legs.

Median is a type of Average you muppet.

Not really.

If two people earned £10 a year and one earned £300,000:

• Their average wage is a little over £100,000 per annum
• Their median wage is exactly £10 per annum

That's obviously an extreme case, but it illustrates how the millionaires and billionaires of the country push the average wage higher than the median.

The mode would be an interesting one. I'd guess it could be the minimum wage.

I do not see that median is a type of average.

What you "see" is irrelevant. Why do we so many "know-nothings-who-think-they-know-it-alls" around?

Median, mean and mode are all types of average that are used in different circumstances.

Surely you are talking about yourself. As what Doggy Styles wrote is correct.
You are a numpty
