Angry Birds average scores entered.

[Witholt]

I thought all scores entered must end in a zero? Why then do I see the average scores posted ending in numbers. What am I missing?
Thanks

@witholt – The key here is that the average scores, are in fact, actual averages. If you average a group of numbers all ending in zero, there is a very low probability of the average generated also ending in zero.

You are confusing median with average.

Three scores:

10
20
40

Average = (10+20+40)/3 = 23.3

Median is the number in the middle: 20

Thanks for the explanation. I must have missed that day in math class. Once you see the actual calculation done it all makes sense.
Thanks again.
