EDIT: If not someone has voted above four after I voted.
EDIT2:The median was four when I checked a few minutes ago.

Obviosly the average is much higher but it is actually impossible to calculate on the provided data-- (assume for a moment that one of the responsders is Wilt Chamberlin)
Yeah, I had mean and median mixed up before. I listed the floor of the mean (ie, the lowest possible).

The sample median is defined, in the case that the sample contains an even number (N) responses, as the mean of the N/2 lowest response and the (N/2 + 1) lowest response.
Question: Is medians often used in surverys like this? In school, get got told "this is what median is, this is what an average is." But we never used median in maths, only averages.
For a data set like this a median is a far more descriptive and indicative number. Consider a data set regarding numbers of sexual partners
there are ninty nine "ones" and a single "10,000" so the median is one while the mean is what ?100.99-- Which means that the average is 101 partners??? Means can give undue weight to extreme outliers, particularly in cases where one side of the distribution in bounded as here with the impossibility of a response less than zero. I have seen some types of analysis that completely rejects the data from some outliers but I am not a stats guy so have no further comment on the methodology
But median numbers ARE used-- I see it frequently in local real estate reports in the paper about house sales for exampe . It seems to be viewed as a far better indicator than the average (which can be unduly swayed by ONE 10 million dollar sale) but the mean is also sometimes reported

There are other medians, by the way. I'm not sure how to report medians from a sample as an estimator of population medians when it comes to discrete variables, or how to report an error on this median. I'm used to dealing with continuous distributions where things are much more intuitively defined.
How is the average a very useful quantity? We aren't looking for the average number of partners, we are looking for the number of partners the 'average' person has. This is going to be the median number of partners, not the average number of partners.

GENERATION 35: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.
After 40 votes the median is still 4 (I am disregarding banana votes)-- So after 40 votes there are 38 valid ones and both the 19th and 20th person in the progression said 4
If you count banana as zero as well then we have 40 valid votes and the 20th value is 3 while the 21st value is 4.
For 10 points and the win what is the median?

Isn't the error simply: 1/(SQRT (40)), which would be about 0.15 or so?

AS an aside I find the median of this group and the general distribution to be around what I would expect intuitively. I suspect that most people were honest in this poll
