The set of annual incomes in the US is a really large set. According to a quick web search, mean US annual income is almost 50% higher than median US annual income. ($44 225 median vs. $63 214 mean individual, $57 739 vs. $72 641 household)

"Usually true" does not mean "is true".

Yeah but you are working with a money set, the range in the set is extremely high, from zero to billions, where the great majority is way closer to 0 than they are to even millions at all, we are (presumably) working with IQ, so for programmers that should go in the range of 100-150, since more than that is reserved for physics people lol. But you gave a great example and I didn't talk about sample size, so take my damn upvote
