It's very strange that we'd have to dive into their privacy policy to get a clear definition of it, but good spot.

The rest stands though - no models, no averages. User tovej below put it better than I did:

> The median does not move if the upper tail shifts, it only moves if the median moves.

> The fact that they do not report the mean is concerning. The mean captures the entire distribution and could actually be used to calculate the expected value of energy used.

> The median only tells you which point separates the upper half from the lower half, if you don't know anything else about the distribution you cannot use it for any kind of analysis

49% of queries could be costing 1000x that median. Stats 101 combined with a sliver of critical reading reveals this report isn't worth the bytes it's taking up.
