I think we should be concentrating on quality, not quantity.

Probably. Because if Trump wins, there’s definitely gonna be an alcohol shortage…

Wait a minute… did he start using #AmericaFirst before or after someone made international headlines for yelling “Britain First” while murdering a politician they disagreed with? Seems either vaguely tactless or horrifyingly crass, depending.

Before, by at least a couple of days (I have no desire to read more of Trumps tweets)

I see that the rogue, independent, doesn’t-give-a-shit Trump also does the standard, pathetic “politician-thumb” gesture. God, I hate that.

This is a month-old poll from a conservative news network. It’s the best it’s ever getting for him, I can see why he’s clinging to it.

Hmm…

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 11

Average? 2. Percent under average? 90.

Yep.

Mean = 2, Median = 1, Average = poorly defined colloquialism.

You do know that IQ tests are designed so that within +/- 3 sigma the distribution is normal? Your example is just one of a heavily skewed distribution and makes no sense in this context.
I used to teach statistics.

You’re a statistician, and you conflate “IQ” with “intelligence,” despite acknowledging that the test is constructed to give a normal distribution in the former even if one does not exist in the latter?

I mean, yes, I agree that, by definition, 50% of the population is going to be below 100 (“average”) IQ, because that’s the result that the test is designed to give.

I just fail to see what relationship that has to how actual intelligence is distributed in reality.
