It took me a second to wake up my brain and understand why it was specifically the 5 and 95 percents. In medical statistics its ordered smallest to largest. So 5% female is the smallest/shortest 5% of the female body size while 95 is the largest/tallest 5 percent of males.
I did not get that. The whole time until the answer, I was thinking the smaller males and larger females
Aaah. That makes sense. I was thinking an intersection between the two, where it'd be as @joeandjoeablee123 says an intersecting group of smaller men and larger women.
@@joeandjoeable123 Give it to the medical industry to go the opposite of what math has it.
I don't get it at all because they're working off of averages. Almost nobody is actually average. I'm not sure why they don't have a whole suite of body sizes and shapes to test as a more indicative scalar outcome based on measurable properties as opposed to sex.
@@christinesizemore3 Well to determine how safe a car is for example you only really need to test for the extremes, and those are the smallest 5% of women and the largest 5% of men. It's not necessarily testing based off of sex to see how it fares for men vs women, it just so happens that sex does influence body size, especially on the extremes of the scale.
I got this straight away because I studied automotive design and follow the industry, hehe. Those percentiles are also used to judge sight lines through the windscreen/other windows, for tuning the H-point, driving position adjustability and other related stuff when creating the shape/packaging of a vehicle.
What's the H point?
This model is used in all human factors engineering. There is an ISO standard outlining the definition of what these numbers mean for different countries.
I wonder if the average american size increase couldn't skew the safety standards enough as to make internetional products less safe for the average human...
I was not thinking genders at all. I assumed it had to do with engineering or something where you have "male" and "female" interlocking parts.
Well, I wouldn't say interlocking (in humans, anyway); at most it's a friction fit. 😉
I assumed it had something to do with animals where the sex ratio can be more skewed than in humans
Me too! I was surprised it was actually about humans. 😂
The tolerances on engineered parts (such as an electrical plug and socket) are way tighter than that. If 5% of a given product did not fit or did not work, that would be a huge failure.
I was gonna say the average CS class
You overshot that with about 4.99% of females.
Or the average RUclips viewer.
I mean, you're not wrong...
I knew it wasn't right before starting the video, but the title had me thinking, "There are some bars in San Francisco's Castro district like that."
you should see the ME class
It's funny that I got this because my Dad used to work at a place in the UK where they do these crash tests (he's retired now). The first thing that five percentile made me think of was the crash test dummies they used to have there.
This title had me thinking this might be about Pokemon Starter gender ratios.
Interesting. I learned that 95% of orange cats are male and was wondering if it somehow had to do with sex-linked genetics.
That's actually closer to 80%.
Got it on my second guess, after medical procedures were excluded.
Saw the thumbnail of the last one, and realized I already forgot the solution. I’m getting old, the nice thing about that is that I can probably watch this videos forever.😉
Tom's audience is growing older alongside him 😀If you find yourself watching this video and then realize you activated the "Loop" menu option, it's time to get help. Elsewise... erm, what were I just talking about? 👴
Wow, I am dead on at 50% male height in the 70s, but a lot lighter at only ~145lb. Fascinating.
Good to know that crash safety doesn't take you into account, as a male who's height is above the 95th percentile. Though that was obvious whit how many cars I have to hunch to sit in at all.
It's not that they don't take you into account, it's that your outlier physical properties are not _specifically_ tested for.
Looking forward to the be smart video ^^ funny that he just recorded that before this.
My first guess was really close: car companies have people from both extremes of height test drive cars to see if they can safely operate the vehicle.
i'm beyond the 95th percentile, alas all car crashes are deadly to me
I heard centaur too and was so confused 😭
Great Video!
my guess was, it's what youtube analytics thinks the audience of any video is
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm... (there's a song).
Yes! I'm a "99% male" on this one, specific measure.
My first thought was cheerleading.
I rightly thought that it referred to percentiles but then thought it was going to be something like breast cancer death rate, 95 percent of women survive and only 5 percent of men do since they are less likely to be diagnosed, in retrospect, 95 percent for a survival rate is too high
I was thinking pokemon based on the title lol
I still don't know what the "procedure" is.
Dating apps be like:
Huh, I was off on some biblical ribs tangent . . . talking of which . . . late grilled Spam sandwich? - Yes!! : )
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
That was all I could think of. 😆👍
There was this boy...
@@RFC3514
😆👍
I went to that first but then they started down the medical track and Tom kept nodding... 🙈
Wondering if the difference between "th" and "%" might mean something.
So what ARE 5% female, 95% male? As a 6'5" 300lb guy, I've something of a vested interest.
96percentile for weight, 99 for height. Drive safe my fellow 99, safety isnt tested for us.
A woman who is 4'11" and 113 lbs. A man who is 6'2" and 246 lbs. So a pretty wide delta between those two, but you still fall outside that range handily.
@@MephieStophelesthe average male height in Netherlands is 6ft so 6'5'' would be within the 95th percentile there
@@munjee2I am not sure that’s how it works
Gave it away the moment he correctly said "5th" and not "5%" as in the title.
If anything it'd have to be "5 %ile" or smth.
Is Joe’s video on this out yet?
No! Gimme like 2 weeks LOL
FYI this is the episode where Tom Rickrolls everyone
The less polite version of Joe's statement is that people are getting fatter.
We get taller, too.
Shouldn't that cover 95% of the population, and not 90%? You remove 5%, but on only half of the population (since it's equally divided between male and female), so you remove 2,5% of the population on each side, leaving you with 95% of the total population.
Arguably it would be less than 95%, as some females would be taller/heavier than the 95% male, and some males would be shorter/lighter than the 5% female. Additionally, there isn't a 50/50 split between males and females (even ignoring trans/etc). It'd be pretty close to 95% of the adult population though.
I was thinking the same thing as @ambergris5705, but @Programmdude convinced me it's slightly more complicated. But yes, the 90% in the video are definitely wrong.
Too bad this is away from what she does, bad luck, but nice sering Michelle Khare here.
Woah, watched this when it was just 7min up 😂 With 392 views and 16 Likes. I am number 17.
I absolutely didn't get what the percentages meant, though.
My guess would be the lower the percentile, the smaller the person. That way they are testing the two extremes, from a very small person, to a very large person.
Most likely, they arrange all the people from smallest to largest. So a 5% female is larger than 5% of all other females, or smaller than 95% of all females.
Cars are tested with dummies representing the smallest females (excluding the smallest 5%) and the biggest males (excluding the biggest 5%).
Avoid using spoiler titles and thumbnails....
the thumbnail isn't a spoiler at all, and the title describes the first hint.
I need a massive favour. I invested my only savings in BNT cryptocurrency. It is only $100, so I ask everyone if they can please buy and hold for a while. Really need this
No
