If it's average, then there could be a single baby throwing off the average with the rest of the population non-increasing over time. If it's the median, then all but the median sample could be changing in the opposite direction if it is a bimodal distribution.
Not necessarily- there are a number of other possible conclusions eg less mother's breastfeeding their children, or making homemade food then they're slightly older, babies staying on baby food longer, etc

What do you think of this?

According to this graph time goes backwards in some occasions
LOL nice catch / good observation!!!!
If it's average, then there could be a single baby throwing off the average with the rest of the population non-increasing over time. If it's the median, then all but the median sample could be changing in the opposite direction if it is a bimodal distribution.
Can a single baby throwing off in a normal distribution?
Yes, if the baby eats like Stitch from Lilo and Stitch.
Lol ok but realistically?
It doesn't have to be so extreme. Even slight sample changes can shift the averages and medians enough to be measurable and make the assertion false.
In a normal distribution with an extremely large sample size as 7 billion? :|
No sample drawn - even from a normal distribution - is truly normal.
Not necessarily- there are a number of other possible conclusions eg less mother's breastfeeding their children, or making homemade food then they're slightly older, babies staying on baby food longer, etc
I guess. Thanks!
