Measuring Height Yourself: 2 Ways to Calculate BMI

[cronxeh]

When Shawn Johnson gained weight, I was glad that we had an 18 year old athlete who will actually have boobs and a great body once she loses that baby phat

Can't wait for the Sports Illustrated, FHM, and Playboy coverage on Shawny :tongue:

It is not. It is close, but different.

Ooh, I wonder if there's any data about this online. Do you think there's a correlation between height and (height - armspan)? Positive or negative? And what are good figutes for the mean and standard deviation for (height - armspan)?

Interesting question, but no idea.

Sounds like good activity for a class - I remember reading abour measuring beans as an element of introducing Gaussian distribution. Finding correlation could be a nice complement.

She could walk her shoes up her self one after the other.

If she knows how to snap with her toes, she can measure time between the snap felt and snap heard, difference times 330 m/s gives the distance.

To be precise she should also hit something with a top of her head and measure time between hit and sound as well, then just sum both distances.

Good luck with that one haha
