Actually, that is impossible except in the bizarre world of statistics.

I'm not sure exactly what we are measuring, but I'd guess that if the absolute minimum value is zero, and if there is no absolute maximum value, then most likely the majority of people would fall below the mean (average). However, if highest values are deemed to be statistical outliers and are excluded from the calculation then the probability of being above or below average would move closer to 50%.
