Default Is this feasible?

So, idk. I always get ideas about relationships/women in my Statistics class that are amusing to me. Like the first one that dawned on me was that inferential statistics was similar to how people moan about not finding the right one and then swear off men or women. They're taking a sample of the population to represent people more generally but it's not very accurate...

Then, today I thought about when he was explaining standard deviation about the 10 scale they have about women. You know, how guys rate women out of 10 and my lecturer was going on about z-scores. So I was like, in my head, rating some woman and just thinking about all these values you could rate women and then you know it'd be like mu+2sigma or whatever, standard deviation blah blah.

Are these ideas wrong? Lol...not talking about ethically or anything.
