Create a stem-and-leaf plot to represent the heights in feet and inches of the players on the team. Use the number of feet as the stems, and the number of inches as the leaves.
Using your stem-and-leaf plot, find the median height of the players on the team.
Convert all the heights to inches, and then calculate the mean height of the players on the team. Recall that \(1~\text{foot} = 12~\text{inches}\).
For example, \(6\) feet is equal to \(6 \times 12=72\) inches, so a height of \(6\) feet, \(3\) inches is equal to \(72+3=75\) inches.
Assume that the mean height of a Canadian woman is \(5\) feet, \(4\) inches. How much taller, on average, are the players on this team?
