To state it more plainly, the claim “the median number of sales is zero” is equivalent to the claim “more than half of self-published ebooks sell zero copies”.
Which is also equivalent to saying “the modal is equivalent to 0” (since presumably you can’t have negative sales)
(Not disagreeing, just found it interesting that all of these turn out to mean the same in this context)
That’s not true? If there are five authors selling 0, 0, 1, 2, and 3 books each, then the mode is 0 and the median is 1.
Woops, “implies” is not equal to “is equivalent to”. My bad.
