Currently the norms are displayed for all players and then for different groups.
If your concerns are with the average score obtained by the people who completed the test, then the Median (column three) is all that you will need. This is the highest score obtained by 50% of the people in the group. This number will change as we obtain more data and learn more about how well people do on the test.
The table entries use abbreviations as shown below the table.

Pool Quotient: Total score on the Pool Quotient Test. The sum of
scores for Shots 1 - 6
N: Sample size or the number of people who have completed this test.
Median is the score at the 50th percentile.
Range is the lowest and highest score obtained
Mean uses the sum of the scores or "Σ" and
the number of scores (N). It is defined as
Mean = (Σ Scores) / N
Standard Deviation (SD) is calculated as:
SD √[(Σ
Score-Mean) / number of scores -1] (The unbiased estimator is used for now)
Estimated Standard Error of the Mean or Serr = SD / square root
of N
