[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by FundyNorthern Average means half the modelers are above the criteria that you've mentioned, and the other half is below. If the average age is 40, then half are older and half are younger, etc. It all works out in the end. I would guess though that women form a very small part of our hobby. Bob Boudreau [/quote] Bob, you have given the definition of MEDIAN not the definition of AVERAGE. Median income, median age, etc. mean half are above and half are below. Average age means add up all the individual ages and divide by the number of individuals. The results are VERY different. I would guess that there is no such thing as a MEDIAN model railroader. Perhaps, instead of average, we should say something like, "a high percentage of...." or "more than 75% of....." etc. Cheers
