I don’t really understand how to read this, so only 96% of 5’ 4" boys are taller than their 5’ 2" father? What?
96% of males with a 5’4" mother and a 5’2" father are taller than 5’2"
Pepsi lookin’ ass chart
How about daughters taller than father and sons taller than mother?
I might miss the point, but the height is dependent on both parents genetically, so just comparing mothers with daughters is a bit like the usual “correlation does not equal causation” thingie, or not?
The X and Y are just labeled weird, both graphs reference father’s height has the X and mother’s height as the Y
Oh, completely missed that, thanks!
Wouldn’t the most determining factor here be the height of the chosen partner?
