[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Among a normal population, 5'1" to 5'2" would look short but not freakishly short. 5'10" to 5'11" would look tall but not freakishly tall. [/b] What makes that particular group look wild is that there is nobody in the middle - they are all either really short or really tall. If that group were mixed in with a lot of 5'5" to 5'8" women, the differences wouldn't look quite so striking.[/quote] I think because we see so many tall models we forget how unusual 5'11" is for a woman. Among American woman age 20-29, the median woman is ~5'4-1/2". A 5'1" woman is at the 12th percentile. Her tall corollary (that is, the woman who is as far from the mean as she is) is just under 5'8". A 5'11" woman is in the 99th percentile. (A height 1 percenter!) A woman in the 1st percentile for height is under 4'11"[/quote]
