Study Notes
- Friends begin by discussing the class they are in and the media topic they will talk about
- Media topic under discussion is Central Tendency, specifically a sub-measure called Media Man or Median of Means
- Media Man refers to the middle value of a distribution, whether it is a median or mean value, also called a Position Value
- In a series, there is a value, often called the "jumping jack" number, which is the value that is in the middle of the middle
- Media Man in Media is the term used to describe this value, and it is the value that media manipulates
- Media Man in Media refers to the middle value of a distribution, whether it is a median or mean value, in a media context
- Central Tendency in media refers to the measure of a distribution's central location, and Media Man is the value that holds this position in a media context
- Media Man in media is manipulated to influence the audience, for example, by only showing half of the ObjecTion value and DanD Media value, which are smaller in size than the Media Man value in the dataset
- Media Manipulation involves adjusting the position of the Media Man value in both the Ascending and Descending orders of the data to influence the audience perception.
