Nope, the average person has two hands, the average number of hands on a person is less than two. Just like the average American is white and not a combination of all sampled ethnic groups.

The average February more than 3/4ths of them are 28 days.

It really sounds like you don't understand statistics.

You really can’t seem to stick to the same point can you? And where’s the examples? You don’t have any do you? You claimed there was plenty, let’s see them.

Your first comment you use decimals, and now you’re saying everything has to be whole numbers… can’t change your story to fit what you want mate.

Stop moving the goalposts, you made a mistake, don’t try to argue different points to save face. Take the L and move on.

So is the average american .7 white?

My first comment uses a whole number for the number of days in an average February. Is english your 3rd language?

Here, read about modes in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average take the L and move on.

There are an average of 30.437 days in a month so if you pay a monthly payment for your average February that's 2.437 days off the average. That's nearly 10% of a month.

Nice “whole numbers” lmfao…

The average American isn’t white, most are mixed race and not white…. So you aren’t even correct there either.

You really don’t know what you’re talking about here and have argued 5 different irrelevant points.

30.437-X=2.437 Solve for X

Take the L and move on

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Where’s your examples? Where is your proof of anything you’ve claimed? You can’t support anything you’ve claimed and bloviated over.

The only one needing to take the L is you, you made a mistake and have tripled down on 5 completely different irrelevant points to try and save face.

You’ve proved nothing but bloviate about nothing relevant to the discussion.

The average American is not white, the average person has less than two hands… averages don’t NEED to be rounded to a whole number, that’s just plain wrong.

I linked you the wiki page for it, it's not my fault you can't read.

Take the L and move on

Isn’t averages taught in second grade…?

The most frequently occurring number in a list is called the mode. For example, the mode of the list (1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4) is 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

Might need to retake 2nd grade my dude.

Maybe read your own source…?

Depending on the context, the most representative statistic to be taken as the average might be another measure of central tendency, such as the mid-range, median, mode or geometric mean.

Mode is secondary, you’re intentionally choosing a non-standard average to attempt to detract from the main point. And even mode can be decimal as well… so what point do you even think that’s making here anyways…?

I’ll retake second grade once you learn basic reading comprehension…. The fact you need to specify mode instead of average should be more than enough to show you’re trying to mislead here…

And again, please provide the examples of stuff you pay for monthly, you said there is plenty, and haven’t listed one, and have only moved the goalposts every comment instead of answering a very simple follow up to your original main point…:

[–] Tak@lemmy.ml 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Oh so now you know that the mode average is not an average. Lol just take the L

Isn’t averages taught in second grade…?

😂

Uhhh… mode is an average, one of many, but not the standard… I never said or claimed otherwise dude. Why do you keep insulting me instead of defending your original point…?

Yet again you’re wrong.

Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?

[–] Tak@lemmy.ml 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So you can't read context? 😂

Bro, just take the L

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

You’ve yet to answer the main question. And this goal post moving is asinine.

Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?

[–] Tak@lemmy.ml 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just take the L that you don't know what an average is.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

There is more than one average and you’re intentionally choosing an obscure one.

Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?

[–] Tak@lemmy.ml 0 points 9 months ago

It's not obscure, I clearly told you what was meant and you doubled down all the way here saying it wasn't an average.

Better get back into 2nd grade mate. 😂
