13 0 ReplyHow about daughters taller than father and sons taller than mother?
9 0 ReplyI might miss the point, but the height is dependent on both parents genetically, so just comparing mothers with daughters is a bit like the usual "correlation does not equal causation" thingie, or not?
8 0 ReplyThe X and Y are just labeled weird, both graphs reference father's height has the X and mother's height as the Y
16 0 ReplyYeah, but there is no graph comparing son vs mother and daughter vs father.
And it seems like an odd thing to omit.
