Someone didn't pass statistics, but did pass their marketing data presention classes.
Wake me up when they release useful data.
It is indeed very suspicious that they talk about "median" and not "average".
For those who don't understand what the difference is, think of the following numbers:
1, 2, 3, 34, 40
The median is 3, because it's in the middle.
The average is 16 (1+2+3+34+40=80, 80/5=16).
the big thing to me is I want them to compare the same thing with web searches. so they want to use median then fine but median ai query to median google search.
