no -- are you thinking of the median?
the mean is just the average
for example, in this set
1 4 4 4 5 6
the mean is 4, but one observation is smaller than the average and two observations are larger.
Larger half, clearly confused, pretty ugly, horrifically amazing

Yes, it is, but many -LY words are NOT adverbs, or not always adverbs. If -LY is added to an existing word that is an adjective, it is almost always an adverb. Here, the adjective is half-hearted (without complete effort or involvement).

I was in Waterstones in Belfast yesterday (20 Sep, 2010) and they were selling a paperback version. It was one of the larger paperbacks, however, and cost around £15 - though they had signs saying it was half price.
No, the mean does not always have half of the observations on either side of it. The mean is a measure of central tendency that can be influenced by extreme values, leading to a skewed distribution where more observations may fall on one side of the mean than the other. In a perfectly symmetrical distribution, the mean would be at the center, with an equal number of observations on either side, but this is not the case for skewed distributions.
The median is the value in the middle when data is arranged in ascending order such as (1 2 3 4 5) 3 is the median. half of the observations, (4 & 5) are above it and half of the observations, (1 & 2) are below it. Thus median is your answer. :)
A kilogram is larger than a pound, so half a kilogram is larger than half a pound.

A half of anything is always larger than a third of the same thing.
Neither is larger.
