To compare the mean heights of males and females, we first need to calculate the mean for each group separately. In this case, we have the following mean heights:
Mean height for females: 67.273 inches
Mean height for males: 69.78 inches
Comparing these values, we can conclude that, on average, males tend to have a higher height than females in this group. Specifically, the average height for males is approximately 2.5 inches taller than the average height for females.
