Question

1. Gather the heights of twenty (20) individuals of the same gender.

- We know that a good practice is to sample people by random selection, but you may just simply ask people you know (or stop people at the mall and ask them!) for the purposes of this assignment.

2. Create a histogram of the heights.

- Describe the shape of the distribution.

- You may use Excel or draw it by hand.

Answer 1

Following are the heights of 20 females :

Heights of females (inches)
63.3
63.1
68.5
67.8
66.3
70
62.3
69.8
64.6
65.5
64.2
70.3
63.5
67.4
65.3
62.7
65.9
63.1
63.3
68.4

2:

Following is the frequency distribution of the data:

Class	Frequency, f
62-63.5	6
63.5-65	3
65-66.5	4
66.5-68	2
68-69.5	2
69.5-71	3

Following is the histogram of the data:

It is not symmetric. It is skewed to right because right tail is longer than left tail.
