Usually, when I regress the frequency of heights of adult men to the
actual heights, I get something which resemble a smooth bell curve. I
use a sample size of 30-50, typically.
However, today, I have a feeling that I'm analyzing spurious data
sets, because my histogram is not a smooth bell curve, but in fact,
bimodal looking.
Is the fact that a curve that I'm analyzing not a bell curve
indicative of there being spurious data here? I noticed that my curve
has some peak coinciding with 5'11", which is 180 cm. I have a
feeling that this 180cm is viewed as some psychological benchmark for
the participants on this dating site.
