Half of all people are below average.
That's not necessarily true. If 100 people take a test and 99 of them score 100 but one person gets a 0, the average score is 99. But 99 people scored 100, so 99 people are above average, and only 1 is below average.
that generally doesn't happen in the real world though, most of the time the mean and median are close-ish at least
