whats the chance of 4 randomly selected males older than 15 years old to be 5'11 or taller ?

Short answer: it’s pretty low, and it depends a lot on what population you’re talking about. I’ll give you a clean estimate so you see the order of magnitude.


Let’s assume a Western country average (US / Europe).

• Average adult male height ≈ 5'9" (175 cm)
• 5'11" (180 cm) is ~1 standard deviation above the mean
• That puts ~20–25% of adult males at 5'11" or taller

Now, your condition says males older than 15, not fully grown adults. That actually lowers the probability, because a chunk of 15–17 year olds haven’t reached final height yet.


A reasonable adjusted estimate:

• P(male ≥ 5'11" | age > 15) ≈ 18–20%

Let’s take 20% (0.20) to keep it simple.


Probability that all 4 randomly selected males meet that height:

0.204=0.00160.20^4 = 0.00160.204=0.0016

Final result​

≈ 0.16% chance
That’s about 1 in 625.

yeah but it doesnt change the fact that these people inflate their height

Maybe if you focused less on doing math you’d have more energy to grow taller

yeah but it still pretty accurate
and it even makes less sense as to why they would be taller
they should be shorter
because shorter people would have more issues being romantically successful and insecure and that could lead them to join looksmax.org
but taller people are more confident, why would they even join looksmax.org?

Because asian and latino populations are short

Because asian and latino populations are short

its based on the us average height which is mostly white

i guess tall people have a higher chance of getting bullied because taller peoples faces are worse and envy
