If you’re going to extrapolate you should use the median, which would put it at 200B for USA. | ||||||||

that isn't how the median works median is the sample in the middle of the distribution (when it is treated as a sequence of samples ordered by their value), e.g. if you have sort(seq(dist))=[100$, 5$, 5$, 3$, 1$] the median is 5$ average is sum(dist)/size(dist), so avg * size(dist) => sum(dist) in the example above that would be median 5, avg. 22.8, total 114, size 5 if you where to multiple the median by size you would have 25$ for the total value, which is very much very wrong | ||||||||
