That's actually the proper way to analyze any statistical data group. Or at least it was when I took statistics in HS and college.
One of the first things you do when looking at data is to remove the largest/highest and the lowest values (they are considered outliers), then average out the rest. That eliminates most of the 'skewing' effect that one or two incongruous pieces of data can create (can't remember the proper term for that right now).
