Data inverted for post. Just ignore the - symbol
This shows the height distribution between males and females. Example almost 100% of people under 5 ft are female
This data shouldn't be displayed like this. This is a cumulative distribution function, displayed as a bar chart. As this is cumulative data, it should be displayed continuously with a line or an area.
It's not just the 0% and -100% that's weird...
Like, the graph is just wrong in a lot of different ways. Not just that, you don't seem to understand what a distribution is.
This shows the height distribution between males and females. Example almost 100% of people under 5 ft are female
It's been a while since I took a stats class, but this is gibberish.
According to the CDC 1% of adult males are 61 inches or shorter.
I don't get this graph either. Aren't guys taller on average? There's never more than a 50/50 split in this graph.
Fixed
Much better chart.
So knowing a disproportionate amount of women who are 5'-10" and over means I must live in the enlightened zone of the 99th percentile.
Interesting fact I found that just 4% of Males are shorter than 54% of females
