The statistics class did a project on the demographics of my school, and they found that the average male height was 6'1. The instructions for the experiment were for each student to find and measure 20 individuals (10 boys and 10 girls) barefoot. The class size probably had around 35 people so roughly 350 boys were measured. This represents roughly 1 third of my school. I can think of a few factors that could have influenced this seemingly impossible result:
1. People were too lazy to measure and just asked for each other's height.
2. The shortest guys probably wouldn't want the embarrassment of being measured, inversely the tallest guys would probably desire the halo (most people were being measured in the between periods in the halls, so it was a rather public display).
3. My school is just a complete abnormality.
If none of these are the case, I'm pretty convinced that younger gen-z is going to be significantly taller than previous generations. What do you think?
