Here is my example with WFTD:
During the election season, we are flooded with economic statistics. Democrats will
use the ones that shows Obama in the most favorable least unfavorable light.
The mean household income in this country will be significantly higher than the
median income, since the former is skewed by those one-percenters who bring the
average up, while the latter is calculated by placing all of the household incomes
in order and choosing the one in the middle. In other words, exactly half of the
households earn more than the median income, and exactly half earn less.
No pushing at the door please!
Sorry about the extraneous HTML code in the title. It’s my first time and I got a little carried away.
So, if we rate each of Harry Reid’s lies as follows:
Little White Lies - 1 point
Big Black Lies - 2 points
Holy Cow Whoppers - 3 points
And, for argument’s sake, let’s say he’s told the following number of lies:
Little White Lies - 50,000
Big Black Lies - 100,000
Holy Cow Whoppers - 10,000
Then the mean of Harry Reid’s meanness would be:
(50,000 + 2x100,000 + 3x10,000)/160,000 = 1.75
And the median of his meanness would be 2? (Did I get that right?)
And if you have a bowl of ice cream while you’re calculating all of this, you’re calculating Reid’s mean meanness a la mode.
OMG, truthy, what is this MATH CLASS????? ; ) congrats on your first day of teaching these miscreants!
What it adds up to is that 0bama is a mean mode of Focker whose administration should be abandoned in the middle of the median.
In other words, half of us are below average.
Good morning Professor Truth.
Obama’s proposed tax hikes looming in January are “mean” to those in the “median”.
To spin dismal unemployment
Obama’s minions make free
With lots of creative math
And get a mean of 8.3
Then to justify more taxes
They stir the numbers brew
To get a median of $200,000
As the “rich” guys to screw
The Roman mob keeps drinking
The koolaid of party choice
While the ‘rat party convention
Will give Jimmy Carter a voice
Truthy,
We go back a long way way.
But I need to remind you of two things.
We live in the same state.
I have four kids middle school age.
If I see one more ‘Median,mode,range’ post....I’m going postal.
(I see no reason for 7 year olds to be digesting concepts prior to .....I dunno multiplication tables...)
; )
Oy...Chicago Math sucks.
Just like Chicago Politics. ; )
AND I MEAN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO!
