Something I made for my intro stats class a few years ago. Nobody really appreciated it, which is a tragedy because it's absolutely top-notch humor.

@DarrinLRogers h8trs gonna h8. Don't let them get you down, this is great!

@DarrinLRogers i only wish you had used Golden Girls somehow.

but this is awesome.

@DarrinLRogers this must be some new definition of β€œtop-notch” I have until now been unacquainted. 😁

Actually, I love it. 😻

@DarrinLRogers Addendum: I screwed up. Calling it an average joke was RIGHT THERE.
@DarrinLRogers I got the joke, finally after 30 years my high school maths has a use!

@DarrinLRogers drat, I was about to respond with something witty about geometric mean vs arithmetic mean..

But felt I should check which other "means" to throw in and .. lo, there are way more than I thought.

Means:
- Arithmetic
- Geometric
- Cubic
- Generalized/power
- Harmonic
- Contraharmonic
- Heronian
- Heinz
- Lehmer

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_tendency

Central tendency - Wikipedia

@geraldew Oh yes. The mean rabbit hole goes deep, and it's only a branch of the larger "measures of central tendency" rabbit hole. Statisticians love making up new statistics.
@DarrinLRogers ..and then there are Fedi-girls ... like this. ​​​​
@DarrinLRogers ... but also this.. also Fedi-Girls...

.. we have variety, to say the least!

@DarrinLRogers

"Range girls" are only part of the larger group of "Spread girls" πŸ€ͺ

@DarrinLRogers
Stats was about the only subject I could never do when pissed.
@DarrinLRogers it's not top-notch, it's average.
@DarrinLRogers that would certainly captured my attention more effectively than the lecturer turning up, writing everything on the board (chalk) and then leaving without a word to us students.
@Shonascatchard Is that an option? New teaching method coming up!
@DarrinLRogers I prefer standard deviation girls
@DarrinLRogers Is it body shaming to mention skewness and kurtosis girls?
@DarrinLRogers This IS top-notch humour, and I have a bachelor's degree in statistics to back it up.
@DarrinLRogers Could we get some standard deviants as well?
@DarrinLRogers I don't want to be mean, but this is just an average joke ;-)
@DarrinLRogers anyone who doesn't appreciate this deserves to fail.
@DarrinLRogers It's sum-thing you can't force πŸ₯ *ching*

@DarrinLRogers @mmarchin

I salute your statistics-based humour. Bravo!

@DarrinLRogers I have immediately shared it with my math teacher friends.

Mean Absolute Deviation Girls

@DarrinLRogers

brb, need to pitch "Median Girls".

@DarrinLRogers Not enough Nicole
@jenzi There's never enough. It's not possible.
@DarrinLRogers Well, you got at least three lols over here.

@DarrinLRogers

That's because you didn't include SUM/COUNT girls...

Sigh

My god, I just attempted spreadsheet "humour"
In my defence...
...I have nothing.

@DarrinLRogers Why are there several median girls and not just one. I am ANGERY
@DarrinLRogers @lurkjay I wish I could tell you I laughed so hard I P'd my pants, but P=0.000001. Excellent gag either way!
@DarrinLRogers I appreciate it. I will use it and put it at the end of statistics tests.
@DarrinLRogers My former-Stats-major friend laughed at it! So now your life is fulfilled.

@DarrinLRogers

My kid who was recently learning about medians groaned when I shared this.

@DarrinLRogers okay this is legit funny and i dont even like maths

@DarrinLRogers I'll wait for Standard Deviation Girls myself.

Wait a sec. That would probably be NSFW. Never mind.

@DarrinLRogers @jellycrystals bunch of standard deviants, right there
@DarrinLRogers I can't wait to see what you put together for bimodal distribution.
@DarrinLRogers
Show more people. Central limit theorem says hilarity will normalize if you show enough people.
