    This is why the concept of statistical outlier and standard deviation exists.

    Had I seen something like this in any analysis I would either assume some fault in the measurement (either reading or technical) or error in punching the data. Then ignored the result if it couldn’t be reproduced, but leave it in the raw data/graph/figure and explain the exlution.

    I’m surprised that the Frozen sisters are 21 and 24. I thought they were closer in age, and younger.

    Edit: They are actually 18 and 21 in Frozen. The second movie is 3 years later.

      Funny enough that frozen is always shown in school, but they never finished it. They always play like about 45 minutes of class time duing holidays where there is no classwork to do. Already finished school by now and I’mma just google the plot lol

      I’m surprised that the Frozen sisters are 21 and 24. I thought they were closer in age, and younger.

      I can’t help but notice the earlier entries are tagged as younger when there’s no real notable age gap between, say, Jasmine and Elsa. Jane Porter, from Tarzan, could easily be in her late-20s/early-30s. Aurora and Cinderella could be anywhere from a very mature 16 to a slightly immature 24 (if their birthdays weren’t a pivotal part of their plots, anyway). Mulan is punching way above her weight class at age 16. Esmerelda could pass as early 30s, easily, just on her mannerism and professional talent.

      The only one that really works at this age bracket is Alice.

        I’m not sure Alice would even qualify as a Disney Princess, unless there’s some lineage I’m unaware of. She’s already one of the few without some sort of romantic subplot.

        Mulan… Aristocracy with a royal award maybe, but not really royalty either.

      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 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.

              I just assume all humans are being manipulative and
              never trust whatever it is they are saying
              can’t get fooled if you assume everyone and everything is crooked
              and statistically, you’ll be mostly right.

                Ehhhhhhhh that’s generally untrue honestly.

                Many people have the capacity. And there are enough shitty people that they will take advantage if given the opportunity.

                But most people are just trying to live their lives as best they can, and much of their selfishness can be unlearned, or isn’t really selfishness anyway, just survival instinct and misinformation

                That’s because there’s always someone bringing politics into casual conversations and it’s tiresome. Yes the world is fucked, most of us here are well aware. Let us enjoy some escapism every now and then, maybe.

            It’s almost as if the different forms of averages are useful for different applications.

            You gain a lot more information about a dataset when you have both the mean and the median, compared to just the mean.

    Esmeralda being 18 is throwing me for a loop. Idk why. All the other ones I can get past looks because they’re all meant to be young (and many have ages stated) but I literally never once viewed Esmeralda as a teenager in the movie. Early 20s maybe. Maybe they mentioned it and I forgot.

    Crazy movie though. Frolo is so fucked.

    Okay, but Kidagakash skews the average so sharply that she’s proof of the need for weigthing.

    Also, are Alice & Jane actually considered princesses? Jane is Lady Greystone and I could accept her for that, but Alice is just a kid. And if direct adaptations count, why not Wendy? Why not Tiger Lily (who counts if Pocahontas does)? Or Dejah Thoris, the titular “Princess of Mars”?

      I mean, yes, but she’s only physically and mentally 14.

      If you put a child in cryostasis until she’s technically 18 you would still be a pedo if you did anything to her.

          Now I wonder, there are most certainly no such protections in place if an underage person goes into coma for long enough that their physical body is aged 18+. Wouldn’t your mind have experienced only very little development through that time, though?

            The same laws that protect drunk, unconscious, disabled, senile, or otherwise incapacitated people would still apply. Here, the 18-year-old with a child’s mind would be deemed incompetent, and assigned a guardian.

                Laws are for generalities. Courts are for specificities. The situation you describe is resolved in the courts, not by legislation.

                If the guardian is the problem, the courts assign a new guardian. That guardian can be another relative, or it could be a department of the state.

      That embryo frozen for 24 years or whatever that was successfully implanted and carried to term didn’t emerge from the womb 6’1" with an MBA.

      Would you have looked at an embryo frozen for 18 years and said “uh-hhuhuh, she’s totally legal”?

      Same logic applies.

    Alice is only a princess in Kingdom Hearts lore.

    Merida is technically Pixar. She’s like a step-Princess.
