Height vs. Shoe Size

Height vs. Shoe SizeBy: Michael Hennessy

Collecting DataTo collect data I decided to survey the class to find out what everyone's height and shoe sizes were.Instead of passing a survey around to the class I emailed the students using a Google spreadsheet and had them enter the data and submit it that way.

Analyzing the FindingsOnce the data was collected I then created a chart.The chart shows a strong positive correlation between the height of a student and their shoe size.

Class AveragesThe average height of the students in our class is 62.25 inches.The average shoe size of the students in our class is 8.625.The mode height in the class was 64 inches.The mode shoe size in the class was 9.What does this mean?From this information we can predict what someones height will be based off of their shoe size, or vice versa. So if someone is 68 inches tall they probably have about a size 11 shoe.
