Explanation:
Median and average are not the same thing (see below). If there were many median radii obtained and then someone computed the average of of all these median radii, one would obtain an average median radius. Did this really happen? I do not know.

Median vs. Average
The median of a set of numbers is that number where half the numbers are lower and half the numbers are higher. In the case of real estate, that means that the median is the price where half the homes sold in any given area that month were cheaper, and half were more expensive than the median.

The average of a set of numbers is the total of those numbers divided by the number of items in that set. The median and the average might be close, but they could also significantly different. It all depends on the numbers.

In statistics and probability theory, a median is a value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as "the middle" value.

Notes to answerer
Asker: OK, ja wiem, że jest różnica - napisałem w zapytaniu. Jaki sens ma jednak zestawienie tego i co znaczyłoby, że promień jest medianowy i średni jednocześnie?
