Just saw a Domain ad on YouTube, where the woman in a car "explains", patronisingly and wrongly, to a kid that the median is where you add up all the prices and divide by the number …
The woman is wrong. That is calculating an average.
The median requires sorting all the values and selecting the central one.
I wonder if A.I. was involved? Or just real estate agents?
