Problem solved, I guess...

will do...

People apply statistics everywhere, and have no idea of their conditions. It's really scary, actually, when people eat it up and have no idea of population parameter or context.

Indeed. In the context of men and women being paid for the same hours in the same job, the wage gap shrinks to women earning roughly 99.2 cents to a mans dollar.

Indeed. Many of these cases will use a mean figure, and not median, too. So, if there are 1,000 people: 500 men, and 500 women; and, 499 men make the same minimum wage as the 500 women, but one man makes 50,000 in their "research," the data is going to heavily support the men in this case. Statistics can be manipulated any way the publisher wants. I would say that 99.2:100 is a more appropriate. lol.

Thank you, sir.
