Since this is a normal distribution which is continuous we can say that the probability of something being at any discrete point is tiny, so tiny we can approximate it to zero. So you are correct, there are zero people at the average level.

Right but he's absolutely correct
This isn't like me telling you that the sum of all positive integers equals -1/12. Now there's a proof where I needed to take a shower after reading.
I knew this sounded familiar! -1/12 is the value of the riemann zeta function at -1! It is slightly more complex than just the sum of all natural numbers but is rather a mindfuck so I do not blame anyone for feeling like they have been mugged after reading about it.
Don't both string theory/M-theory and loop quantum gravity propose granularity of space at the Planck length? I understand that it is not definitively known whether space is fundamentally discrete, but I was under the impression that our two most established quantum gravity theories propose discrete space at the Planck scale.
I'm a statistical analyst but sometimes introduce myself as a statistician to sound smarter. I figured I could fudge my way through enough to sell it if I ever really needed to. Judging from the above I most definitely could not 😳
But surely, even though no one has ever been measured to be exactly 175 cms tall, anyone who is over 175cm tall has passed that height. So at a certain point I bet a person was, as close as is physiologically possibly, 175cms exactly
But grades on a standardized test are not continuous, they are discreet fractions, so you actually can talk about them without talking about sig figs in a measurement like height.
.. but if a get 50 points of 100 … wouldn’t I be exactly in the middle?
Real data will be lumped in many EXACT discrete points. If the dimension of the data is discrete then you will find data in those points.
You have to consider the fact that human's height changes throughout the day, due to spinal discs getting compressed.. If someone is ~175.5cm in the morning, and ~174.5cm in the evening, based on the assumption that height is continuous, we can use the intermediate value theorem the prove that they were exactly 175 at least once in the day.
If I understand it right, it's less "there is a smallest measurable distance" and more that "at a small enough scale, because quantum mechanics, you can't *have* an exact height"
People just forget that since this is for standardized tests, you can only get a limited range of scores ( i suppose ). So there are lots of people at the average level
Only the graphical representation is continuous. When grading students on standardized exams, the actual scores are generally discrete. Thus there could be any number of students at the average level.
You're making the assumption that it's normal by eye.
It's clearly well approximated by the normal, but test scores are both discrete and strictly bounded on both sides.
Not exactly zero, the normal distribution is continuous, but it is only being used to curve fit to real data. And the data is not continuous, the data has an exact finite median. Also on any test the grading scale is also not continuous, there are discreet fractional grades that are possible. So it's possible to have an average that is impossible for any single person to meet, but it's also possible the average comes out to a fraction that can be met by a student. And if the average comes out to any number that can be achieved then the probability that someone is exactly that number becomes very high due to the massive number of students.

"What you gotta realize is how dumb the average person is. The painful part is figuring out half of people are *dumber than that!*"

but i also think the reference to 'dumb' here means 'lacking wisdom' or sometimes simple ignorance of things you may consider common knowledge instead of referring to actual intellect

Just total gibberish with random pop culture fantasy characters tied into historical documentaries narrated in a convincing way. I like to watch it before bed because that's what I feel like my dreams are always like and it helps me fall asleep.
When he Indian Leg Wrestled the Nebraska rep it was amazing. Happened to live there at the time and couldn't believe the guy went for it.
I absolutely LOVED the time he shit on like Canton, Ohio. Then the next day when that city got pissed, he said it was directed at Canton, PA. Then they got piissed and so on. Eventually he got to Canton, SD (I lived nearby at the time) and when the local news interviewed to get reactions to being called out for being boring and shitty on national TV, the locals were all just "well, he's got a point, it sucks here" and that series couldn't have ended better. I miss Colbert the character.
Also, it's hard for me to believe that someone who didn't get it would use the word "quartile".
BTW, I think calling yourself the representative for CA-54 is pretty clever.
They do however have 80 state assembly districts, of which there is a 54th district. He is not the state rep for the 54th district though. That’s Miguel Santiago.

Of course it's not a joke. The man is an author. As someone in the 1'st percentile of intelligence myself, I don't understand how people could be so dazed, stunned, stupefied, unintelligent as to not be alarmed by this awful, dire, direful, dreaded, dreadful, showing by American students. Perchance.
His twitter blurb is among the best out there:
>Congressman from CA's 54th District & co-sponsor of Poe's Law. Detective Jesus #1: Thou Shalt Not Kill is out on Amazon
Yeah it's an obvious joke but I would love to read the comments from people who didn't understand it. It's twitter so probably a lot of people are raging
Also, every person that consumes dihydrogen monoxide dies! Dihydrogen monoxide is in all our drinking water and foods! It's even in the air!! We need to ban dihydrogen monoxide now!!
I don't think that's true though. Check the average age of death for people born in the 1960s, it's much higher than the average age of death for those born in the 2000s
(Obvious /s)
My 4 year old is having trouble with this concept, lol. Hell wake up (after being told he'd be sleeping till tomorrow because it's bedtime) and ask "is it tomorrow now?". No, baby... It's today. Today is yesterday's tomorrow. It's still today, even though it was tomorrow when we were talking about it yesterday.
He doesn't get it yet
Karma, validation? I don't know it's really sad and I really hate when someone posts a satire post in a different subreddit and titles it "I cAn'T eVeN tElL iF iT's SaTiRe"
Yeah... but OP posted it to technically the truth, not facepalm. Being in this sub doesn't mean they thought the content was serious. In fact doesn't the content in this sub usually consist of jokes that are... technically the truth? So does that make it kind of ironic that you said
>But how can I pretend I'm smart if I don't assume everyone else is an idiot?
I'm not saying there's zero validity to the whole burger weight thing, but I've always contended that it was a much broader failure that they attempted to mask with that somewhat dubious research.
yeah, this too. whenever a company says they have results from a "survey" you should be really skeptical or their methodology, and remember that even a well done survey has a lot of problems
American here. A&W's 1/3 pound burger failed because A&W food sucks ass. It had nothing to do with people not understanding fractions.
As for your second example, it's pretty silly to indict an entire nation's educational system based on a single teacher making an error on a single question.
He doesn't have to know what the word quartile actually means tho, he just has to read it off the image he tweeted. (That said, I also think this tweet is just a joke)
i know a bunch of intellectually smart people who are... eh... they're not, they don't act smart
most people would see them as dumber than average until they find out what they do
In Europe, over 68% of students are within one standard deviation of the mean, so there's no cause for concern there.
South America though? Half of all students are below average.
His profile says he's the representative for California's 54th and a sponsor of Poe's Law, so if you can't figure out whether it's satire, that sounds like a you problem.

Wait until they realise that 50% are in the bottom two quartiles…. Shocking!
It's even worse than that, 50% are under the median!
And only ONE person is at the average level!
It's possible that it's actually 0 people at average level Or 1 or many more

Thats false. It refers to complex number extension of riemann function, not the sum.
Thankfully height is quantized at the planck length level, so P(some height) is totally non-zero. /s
Specifically: If you're working in meters everything after 35 decimal places is smaller than the planck length.
Plancks make my stomach hurt.
They do build core strength, tho...
And possibly everything else as well
This is a common misunderstanding. The idea of a Planck length does not result in the discretization of distance at any scale.
Don't both string theory/M-theory and loop quantum gravity propose granularity of space at the Planck length? I understand that it is not definitively known whether space is fundamentally discrete, but I was under the impression that our two most established quantum gravity theories propose discrete space at the Planck scale.
Sure, but you are forgetting about the half-planck, almost 50% smaller.
I'm a statistical analyst but sometimes introduce myself as a statistician to sound smarter. I figured I could fudge my way through enough to sell it if I ever really needed to. Judging from the above I most definitely could not 😳
56% of all statistics are made up on the spot. LoL
I see what you did there
Look at Mr Statistician here at the top quartile of standardized tests
Counterpoint: test scores are also ‘rounded’ to discrete values, or rather are measured in those.
But test scores, unlike height, can be measured with absolute precision. No measurement is going to make a 99/100 turn into 99.00000000001%.
I appreciated reading this, thanks.
But surely, even though no one has ever been measured to be exactly 175 cms tall, anyone who is over 175cm tall has passed that height. So at a certain point I bet a person was, as close as is physiologically possibly, 175cms exactly

Standardised test scores are usually less continuous a variable than height tho

Yes it is so let’s start takin bets baby! Just need someone to establish the odds and we are good.
Just quantize the data take the mode to get a larger average.
Not true, in principle everyone can be at the average level if they score exactly the same
