female average height in uk

[Linz]

totally depends on the age

[gnasher]

it doesnt depend on the age .

[Linz]

Of course it does!! You think females in their 70's are the same height as teenagers?? Different generations have a different average height! I see you never went to school did you gnasher!!

[darth vader]

females in early teens shoot up in size (a lot earlier than males actually, which is why your younger sister becomes taller than you for a while - though boys catch up in their mid/late teens) females in 25-30 range stop growing through to 60, females in 60+ start shrinking! (but only by an inch or two). So if it doesn't depend on age what does it depend on, gnasher? type of shoe? hair colour?

[Linz]

Cheers for that darth!! Think gnasher is on glue or something!!

[bernardo]

Pardon me for being accurate, but it does NOT depend on age. The "average height of British females" is a single statistic which is calculated by adding the heights of all the females in Britain, and then dividing by the number of how many there are. Presumably what Linz meant is that the average height of British females in the 60 to 70 age group is different from that of the 20 to 30 age group, both of which are different from that of the 0 to 10 age group. Therefore, in answer to the original question, Linz was wrong, Gnasher was correct, and Darth Vader was wrong.

And all of us do not know what the actual answer is.

unless dasutaitis wants spurious results then i would assume you would need to discount baby girls (circa 2 feet), female foetuses (a few inches?), dead women (6 feet under) etc... so i disagree, the age HAS got something to do with it. Actually the question is so ambiguous as to not being able to answer it (now that we're stripping it apart) i mean, do we include female cows? horses? queen bees?....

[darth vader]

the answer is Nebraska

[Linz]

darth has made an excellent point. So in actual fact, bernado, according to your theory, your answer would be wrong also. Unless you want to start splitting females up into different categories?? So if we're being this picky, this question is far too general to give a straight answer.

Can you get a 'female' yucca plant ?

Interesting little sematic debate people......I suspect the person who set the question would still like some form of answer though, so in a perhaps futile attempt to do so I have been able to find out that the average height of adult females in the UK is 5' 4".

[ouch!]

Linz - you are out of order being so uptight. He/she wanted to know the average height and didn't specify anything about age. What is wrong with knowing the average height of all ages of women?

[coggles]

Doesn't that depend on whether they are inflated or deflated?

[Linz]

Ouch! Uptight?? I don't think so! It is near to impossible to give an average height as what most people have suggested! But sft42 has given an answer already, so what's the problem??
