Mean (average) is summing up n numbers and dividing by n. The average is rarely the middle point. The point in a group of numbers where half are below and half are above called the median.

Good point. I did not think that IQ would fit a normal distribution, but I looked it up and you are correct. I suspect that is because, as you said, the large n and also because of the relatively small number of possible scores (about 200?).
any distribution of the mean of a sample from a population/source distribution will converge to a normal distribution.
