    This document summarizes data collected on the heights of 30 Year 7 and 8 students at TNIS. It finds that the most common height is 143cm, with the median and mode both being 142cm. Over half (60%) of students were 140cm or taller. The analysis concludes most students' heights fell between 140-149cm, with exceptions above and below this range. It wonders how the average might change if more students were taller.
