How tall are you? (A statistical survey for high school students)

<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>

<p>Why don't you google, find the real statistic, change it a bit, and make up data?</p>

<ol>
<li>How tall are you? 172 cm</li>
<li>What is your gender? Male</li>
<li>When did you hit your growth spurt? age 12? No clue..</li>

<p>I'm not sure I really believe the statistics; they may be outdated. Plus, I want to conduct my own survey, which I believe would be more accurate. It would be more interesting this way.</p>

<p>That's called plagiarism and would be immoral, Alexander.</p>
