Ive known of a formula:Your height=(Fathers height+Mothers height)/2士7.5cm
I dunno if thats the most reasonable one although I think it is.

None.

With the above formula I should have been 1,73 but I was 1.685 prell.
Definitely there isn't any formula to predict height.

For whatever formula there is, the output should vary by sex rather than be a range around a single mean, since it's a bimodal distribution. Also, the variance would probably be very high, unless you take into account the heights of both sets of grandparents as an input as well.

Actually I just wanna assure if I screwed up my genes.
I was below 140cm tall when I was 12 y.o and now I'm 162-163cm tall now(20 y.o).

By this formula I suppose to be 165 cm, but I'm 178

This formula works. But you have to keep in mind that from the number you get, there is a 95% chance you will be within 4 inches away from this height (either up or down). So it gives you a confidence interval, it does not give you a certain height.

There are more accurate formulas, but the baby needs to be born already

4 inches of height are way too much for a formula to be considered accurate for height.
It is common sense that a 5.5 man and a 5.3 woman won't make an 6.4 ft son most of the times.
A working formula should be accurate at least 1 inch more or less not 4 inches!

Because height ain't decided by just one factor(Although gene is the most important factor) and even speaking of genes alone offsprings may realize mutations.That is to say if you are in the twenty-distance range of the result your height is generally reasonable.

Ofc that would be ideal, but afaik there is currently no such formula

Now if the baby is already 2 years old and you know bone mass and stuff, there are more accurate formulas I think
