Smile statistics

A recent finding by statisticians shows that the average human has one breast and one testicle.

A statistician probably would not say that. Most usages of "average" are reserved for a set of numbers, as in the average number of testicles, ...

An "average" person is one that is common, or ordinary, neither of which would be true for a human with only one of the body parts.

... and statistically speaking, half the people you meet have below average intelligence.

Huh? No wonder I flunked statistics, I thought I'd signed up for a Spanish class.

Two breasts AND two testicles. Best of both worlds!

It depends on which kind of average, there are three kinds.

Mean: The most common average, calculated by summing all values in a dataset and dividing by the number of values.
Median: The middle value in a dataset when the values are arranged in order. If there are two middle values, the median is the average of those two.
Mode: The value that appears most frequently in a dataset.

One of each would be the mean. For example, in a group of 100 humans we find there are 100 breasts in total. The mean would be simply 100 breasts /100 people. The result is 1 breast per person.

This is why statistics can be misleading or tell us stupid things. We have to be smarter than the math we do

Plus it was a joke. Just laugh and move on. This is why we cannot have nice things...

Women don't have balls. There are some men with only 1 (or no) balls. I've never heard of anyone having 3 balls. Therefore the average number of balls per person is less than 1. Perhaps 0.95?

Meanwhile, some women don't have breasts (or maybe just 1). A woman with 3 breasts is extremely rare. Some men have breasts (man boobs). It probably averages out close to 1 per person.

I'm wondering what the statistician's sample size was...

I once was told there are 3 kinds of liars in the world. Liars, damn liars and statisticians.

According to the gender neutral woke math that is correct.
