Explain. I cannot make any sense of this sentance.

On average? Hmmm.....Tell me something. If you are given 1000 students in one given location. We have 225 outlier grades, this may cause the average to be inconsistent. Also it depends on the person doing the data plotting if that person become an affinity to short people or not, eventhough he says random, people are people. Statistics is a powerful tool for those not seeing how it works. It may damage a person morality. Statistics is useful only if you are given the total of a particular race. You can't judge by a couple of people. Genetic variations varies on many factors. Radiation, dietary, environment. A group of Asian living in a particular area is taller than another group of Asian living in another area. How's that? Sounds good? If he would've have not only done a consensus in Japan, he would've gained more followers.
I tell ya. Statistics is only okay for money and finances, but surveys, and such. It's not a very efficient tool for the latter because you cannot measure a human choice, can you?
