Did they stop teaching the difference between mean, median, and mode the year after I left elementary school? It seems like nobody knows that those are all three types of average anymore

    I don't really get your point as under the assumption of normal distribution all three are the same

    Albeit there was another comment about intelligence not being normal distribution which is a bit unfortunate imo

    And practically every time I see someone talk about average it is a mean, a lot rarer it's median, and I never heard anyone talk about mode in general public
