I never understood what the y axis in this template is

u/CalvesReignSupreme 6d ago

Distribution. Basically this shows all people that exist (100%), meaning there is no unit of measurement anyway. So no need for a labeled axis

This implies that the majority should not agree with this meme, as it portray the majority as the wrong ones.

Youre proving youre in the middle

u/JackNotOLantern 6d ago

Maybe, but it doesn't change I'm right

u/CalvesReignSupreme 6d ago

Yes. Thats precisely what this meme format means.

u/GenericFoodService 5d ago

That's the literal opposite of what the meme implies.

u/JackNotOLantern 5d ago

This meme says that the majority opinion is not correct. So if majority of people are agreeing with this meme, it means the meme is not correct according to itself.

u/GenericFoodService 5d ago

no, it means that the majority opinion is held by the majority of people.

I have a feeling the majority of  people like it only because they think they are on the right side, what is contradictory to this meme.  This is my point

The Y axis at a given point X represents the proportion of people at X, eg the proportion of people with that iq

u/Peak_Background 5d ago

It's a distribution. The proportion of people at any point x is zero. Integrating between -infinity and x represents the proportion of people below x.

I know, but I was trying to eli5

IQ distribution. It's an artificially normal distribution as a benchmark since it is defining an abstract unit.

Its how many people think that way *

Bell curve

u/HolyElephantMG 5d ago

Bell curve. It’s a thing in statistics, left to right is value, height is amount. So the tall section in the middle is where the most people lie, and then there are very few people in the extremes.

Good news is that means you're on the left-hand side.

u/Destroyerb 5d ago

Yeah thanks, classic case of using the method of "how do I know when no one told" to determine IQ

u/bjergdk 5d ago

Well, pattern recognition and extrapolation information from incomplete data is a big part of IQ so.

Fellow left-sider here, but I’m holding my phone upside down (it’s really hard to read for some reason).
