Goal: Estimate average height by gender for a country of your choice. Prompt: Heights of adults vary by region and country. Wikipedia has gathered average height information from a variety of studies from the majority of countries around the world. The average height for males and females is given. Due to small sample size and cultural differences, the information for anyone who does not identify as male or female is not included. Your tasks are to: O o O 1.. Pick a gender and country/region from the list of options below. . Albania (male or female) Argentina (male or female) o Bahrain (male or female) Bolivia (female only) .

Senegal - Urban (male or female) o Senegal - Rural (male or female) Sri Lanka (male or female) . Tanzania (female only) - Tunisia (female only) ยท Zambia (female only) 2. Find the corresponding height data for the gender and country/region of your choice at Average Human Height By Country e (external link). A. Average height (in cm) B. Sample size (look at the column Sample Population/Age Range. Then look for N followed by m for male or f for female) C. Standard deviation (in cm) (look at the column Sample Population/Age Range. Then look for SD followed by m for male or f for female) 3. Based off the sample information recorded in step 2, run a confidence interval for average height. Part 1: Due Thursday at 11:59pm Answer the following questions for your chosen country as . 1. What is the name of the country or region that you picked to study? What gender did you choose? 2. What is the sample information for the gender and country/region you chose? A. Average height (in cm) B. Sample size (look at the column Sample Population/Age Range. Then look for N followed by m for male or f for female) C. Standard deviation (in cm) (look at the column Sample Population/Age Range. Then look for SD followed by m for male or f for female) 3. Find the 95% confidence interval for the average height of the gender and country/region you chose. Include the following information: A. Justification that the normality conditions were met (note: all of the countries I listed were identified as having good sampling techniques) B. The standard error or an approximation of the standard error (standard deviation of the x-bar distribution) C. The relevant t-score (use the Inverse t distribution calculator) D. The margin of error E. The interval F. A concluding sentence
