Question

The accreditation agency for schools of business has a requirement to report the mean and standard deviation of the height of MBA students. After measuring the height of 1000 MBA students, you calculated the sample mean to be 5.8 feet and sample standard deviation to be 0.5 feet and proceed to provide this information to the Dean for the annual report. The Dean then notified you that the mean and standard deviation should be reported in "inches" and not "feet". Since you naturally threw the data away, but you just completed a statistics course, you tell the Dean "No problem!". What is the mean and standard deviation in "inches"?

Explanation / Answer

1 feet = 12 inches
