The chance of 4~6 being less than 5 is 50%, the chance of it being greater is also 50%. The median of 100/4~6 has to be 100/5.
>there is no way of knowing why the range is between 4 and 6
??? There is. It is the ~ symbol.
mmh ok thanks, i guess i need extra maths training ;)
i didn't mean knowing _that_ the range is between 4 and 6 but _why_, i thought the weighing would be explained by the reasoning, like: "we divide a €100 bill between possibly 4, rather 5 and most probably not 6 persons"
>but _why_
Because that is how it is defined by the author of the article.
