      If I’d meant median or mode I would have used those words. Average is equivalent to mean.

      Your link even says this, if you’d bothered to read it.

      Mean: The mean is what you get by adding up all of the numbers and dividing by how many numbers were in the list. Most people think of the mean when they use the word ‘average’ in a mathematical sense.

        Yes. The use of the mean as the average is why you can’t tell without looking at the data set if the average of $500 is 1000 people all making around $500 or 500 people making near nothing while the other 500 are making close to $1000 or 750 are making near nothing and 250 making close to $2000, etc…

        In this case the mode gives you a more relevant data set. That’s probably not what they’re using though.

        The best would probably a range of modes and the quantity of people in each bucket
