      Percentile gang, let’s go! 😎

      The median, or 50th percentile, here would be 17 or 18, meaning 50% of the princesses are aged 17 or lower, and 50% are aged 18 or higher.

            the mean person uses about 1.7mg per day

            So we can solve drug abuse by being nice?

            The median is a statistical fact that can be used by humans in both good and bad ways. Lots of data can be made to look lots of different ways in the hands of different people.

            That’s why teaching critical thinking (not just the skills but the importance and value) is paramount. People need to understand what they’re looking at. Because sometimes you want the mean, other times you want the median, and if you can’t even understand when you might want one or the other or both for different reasons then you can be led around by the nose with either.

    This still is killing me. Why is this so funny? All the others look like good images of the characters!
