Mean is the average.
Median is the middle number in a set of numbers (as massPBOer pointed out).
Mode is the number which appears most often in a set of numbers.

photo requirements
Both sides of house and front, street view both directions. Simple enough. QC sent back and asked why photos were not taken at same time. some photos show sunshine and some dark clouds.

My answer was “it’s Hawaii, photos taken in the afternoon, rain on the mountain and sun over the ocean" QC still didn't understand how it could be raining and sunny at the same time. Guess in India this does not happen.

Must be confused with terminology, from Statistics 101

Median - The mid point in the range (add the high and low and divide by two)
Mean - The average of the numbers in the range (add all of the numbers together then divide by the number of points)
Mode - The most frequent number in the range given.

Not from a text but from memory

Here's a first for me.

Monday night, I worked on an exterior due yesterday.

I struggled to find Solds within the past 6 months.

Prior to Midnight Monday, a 11/10/09 was good; but at 12:25 AM Tuesday, just a few minutes later, it was not.

I commented my way out, knowing there wasn't anything better (nothing over the winter); but I was really in no mood to fiddle around finding a more geographically distant replacement for this prize in the middle of the night. I was actually tempted to modify the sale day; but didn't have to (so I escaped with my integrity intact!)

I find it amazing that they even care. Although you took your pictures all at the same time, why would it matter if you had not? When I started, I often forgot the street shot, or the rear for interiors, and had to go back the next day. So, they want all photos taken in one trip, what else are they requiring? Do I have to input all the data in one sitting? Just plain silly.

Just got this QC, and this is after having a long day:

"Please go back and take a street scene on a sunny day. The rain appears to be coming down to hard for the client to see the surroundings"

WTF

No Way!! Tell them rain is forcast for the next week. There is no way I would hop back in my truck because of rain. Maybe you could just describe the surroundings in vivid detail .....

wow... rain is now unacceptable, what happens if you are in Washington or Oregon where it rains 345 days a year...

The craziest requirement I heard was that no comp photos could have snow in the pictures... it snowed today here, and we get snow from mid september to early june.... July and August are the only month without snow.... so there is an 83% chance that there will be snow on a comp photo here....

Why are these mill being such expletives. This is getting ridiculous. Just tell them that you need a trip fee. And while you are talking to them, ask them if it is raining during your next order how many days they want you to wait to take the photos.

While I am here, I just noticed my favorite, CC, just changed their requirements. They are now exactly the same as PCV. Every day it seems like the mills are making it more and more difficult to complete these orders. I guess what worked 2,3,5,10 years ago won't work today. But we all know the real reason for all this BS is they need to do something, make form changes, stupid QC crap, etc. just to keep their jobs.
It's always about the money.

I don't want to make a mistake. I don't want to get QC'd.

Is this a Garage . . . . some kind of CarPort . . . . or


Is it a Lean Too ?

Please go back and take a new photo. There is something in the bottom right hand corner that is not part of the subject. Our client is very sensitive to this. And please, no photo cropping.

It never ends. Just got this from EP.
NEW PHOTO REQUIREMENTS - PLEASE READ:
Submit only clear, daytime photos.(crap, I usually take them at night)
We recommend using photos that are 480 X 640 pixels. Upload required subject photos where indicated on the BPO form (each photo field allows for multiple uploads, if needed):
Subject Front
one current, original photo of the front of the subject property
Address Verification
must be clear, close-up of number on house, mailbox or curb
street signs are acceptable only if house number isn't visible and comments are required as to how you verified the correct property
Left & Right Side of Subject
photos of the sides of the property itself - not photos of the neighboring properties
Street Scene
view down the street, both ways (I don't go both ways, I only drive one way)
do not include photos of what the subject faces (across the street) - there has been confusion as to which property is subject, so we no longer require this view
Subject Rear (if accessible)
Subject Yard (no problem, I'll drive around back, morons)
Subject Repairs
upload photos of any damage(s) to the subject property
INTERIOR ORDERS Must include a photo of EACH interior room
Sold and Listed Comps
photos ARE required, do not check 'no photo available'
comp photos may be from MLS; if photo is not available on MLS or photo is not clear, please drive to the comparable and take a photo
Unacceptable Photos (BPO will be rejected)

Obviously, it's a lean-to

Poor photo or no photo in MLS?......wanna guess which ones aren't used?.......lol....I got a new QC'r driving me crazy today....He just can't seem to figure out how I arrived at final values......said they make no sense........hmmmmmmmm...monthly depreciation factor 1%...GLA adjustment $30 s.f. .....what's there to figure?.........lol
