Statistics Introduction In this investigation I will be analysing the height and weight of boys and girls in year 11 of Mayfield High School. I will use different statistical methods to examine carefully the trends and patterns that lie within this selected group of people. I must take a sufficient number of boys and girls to enable to draw various graphs of my results, and to write a firm conclusion to support them. The total number of students in year 11 is 170, however I will be taking 30 boys and 30 girls a total of 60 in all. The Data Below I have drawn a table showing the heights and weights of the girls and boys in year 11. My reason for choosing to sample 30 boys and 30 girls is that the large number will provide me with a wide range of results for my analysis.
