Yes you are correct.
The median size figure is interesting too. 5.65 x 4.67. That is the typical penis size. See explanation below from the mraverage site:

Another thing we need to take into account about scientific penis size studies is what is called self-selection bias. Short version is guys who think they are small are unlikely to want to participate in size study. While guys who think they are big are more likely to participate.
First a definition:
Self-selection bias - Wikipedia
Quote
In statistics, self-selection bias arises is any situation in which individuals select themselves into a group, causing a biased sample with nonprobability sampling.[citation needed] It is commonly used to describe situations where the characteristics of the people which cause them to select themselves in the group create abnormal or undesirable conditions in the group.
What’s the average penis size?

They’re based on measurements from laboratory studies where men knew they were participating in research to see how their knobs measured up.
This means guys who were worried about size were less likely to participate, whilst guys who thought they had big schlongs were more than happy to waggle them under researchers noses.
