Mathematics Unit 39: Student Heights

The document summarizes a classroom experiment where students' heights were measured. The average height of boys was 160 cm and girls was 150 cm. When two absent students had their heights added and the averages recalculated, surprisingly the averages did not change. This stable outcome with the addition of more data points suggests that the missing students' heights aligned with the original class averages.
