Student Lounge College Life

<p>Just wanted to start a survey/statistical analysis on height. If you’d answer some of these questions, it would make for some nice results.</p>

<li>How tall are you?</li>
<li>What is your gender?</li>
<li>When did you hit your growth spurt?</li>
<li>How old are you?</li>
<li>What is your race/ethnicity?</li>
<li>Do you think you will grow anymore?</li>
</ol>

<p>Here is what I want to find out:</p>

<p>For Males

  • The mean height
  • The median height
  • The mode
  • Average age of when the growth spurt was hit
    (will also organize data by age and race/ethnicity)</p>

<p>For Females

  • The mean height
  • The median height
  • The mode
  • Average age of when the growth spurt was hit
    (will also organize data by age and race/ethnicity)</p>
