100 is the average, implying half the population is lower than that, but otherwise, sure

100 is the average, implying half the population is lower than that

At the risk of pedantry, if 100 is the average (the mean), we're saying "most people are at 100". If it were the median, then we're implying "100 is the middle score of those sampled". A subtle, but important difference.
