Average income of the average Mormon?

[_the road to hana]

What say you?

I speculate it would be regionally varied.

My best guess would be $40,000-60,000 for members in the U.S.

Mean, Median, or Mode?

Mean. Mode, maybe. Combined household income for member households in the U.S.

But you know, people like the Romneys, Marriotts and Huntsmans skew the mean bigtime.

My best guess would be $40,000-60,000 for members in the U.S.

Median income in the US, over all is $40,000. In Utah the median income of $50,000.

Median is not average. Average is taking all the incomes and adding them up, dividng by the total number.
Median is to take all the income levels and display them in a line. Half way in is the median. These can result in way different numbers.

Example: Suppose you have men of the following heights--a basketball team. Minnesota Timberwolves. Don't ask me why I chose this team.

Their heights are 6' 1", 6' 4", 6' 4". 6' 4". 6' 7", 6' 8". 6' 8", 6' 9". 6' 9". 6' 9", 6' 10", 6' 10"

The median is 6' 8". The height at which half are taller and half are shorter.
But the average heigth of the team is 6' 5"

Charity, does it even occur to you how patronizing you are?

Sorry about that. Teacher mode. When someone throws out mean, median, mode as though it doesn't matter, I grab the chalk and head for a blackboard.

That's why we need smilies! Words on a page cannot convey tone of voice, facial expression.

Yeah, I didn't see it as a joke either.

Suuuuuuuuure would be nice to have smilies.......

When push comes to shove, just type a colon, then a dash, then an end parenthesis, like this:

:-)

See? Instant conveyance of tone of voice and facial expression. Problem instantaneously solved.
