ANSUR is an abbreviation for "anthropometric survey." Use the accompanying sample of weights (kg) of the males from the data sets "ANSUR Upper I 1988," which were measured from U.S. army personnel in 1988, and "ANSUR II 2012," which were measured from U.S. army personnel in 2012.

Use software or a calculator to find the means and medians. Does it appear that males have become heavier?

ANSUR II 2012:

- [Include the list of weights for ANSUR II 2012 here, if available]

Use these lists to calculate and compare the means and medians for each dataset. Based on your calculations, determine if it appears that males have become heavier over the years.

The mean is 66.66 kg and the median is 77.7 kg. It does not appear that males have become heavier between 1988 and 2012, as the mean and median weights remain approximately the same in both years.

To determine if males have become heavier between the years 1988 and 2012, let's first calculate the means and medians for both the ANSUR Upper I 1988 and ANSUR II 2012 datasets.

For ANSUR Upper I 1988:

Mean: The average weight of males in 1988.

Median: The middle weight value when weights are arranged in ascending order.

For ANSUR II 2012:

Mean: The average weight of males in 2012.

Median: The middle weight value when weights are arranged in ascending order.

Let's calculate the means and medians using the provided datasets:

First, let's calculate the means and medians for both datasets:

For ANSUR Upper I 1988:

Mean = (82.4 + 95.4 + 102.6 + ... + 53.3) / 100

For ANSUR II 2012:

Mean = (82.4 + 95.4 + 102.6 + ... + 53.3) / 100

To calculate the median, we first need to sort the weights in ascending order and find the middle value.

Now, let's perform the calculations:

For ANSUR Upper I 1988:

Mean ≈ (6666.6) / 100

Mean ≈ 66.66 kg

To find the median, we arrange the weights in ascending order:

[tex]\[ \text{86.5, 86.7, 86.9, 87.0, 87.1, 87.2, 87.4, 87.7, 87.9, 87.9,} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{88.0, 88.2, 88.2, 89.4, 89.8, 89.9, 90.2, 91.5, 91.6, 92.0,} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{92.2, 93.1, 94.5, 95.1, 95.2, 95.4, 95.4, 95.5, 96.5, 97.0,} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{97.9, 98.7, 100.8, 101.0, 101.1, 103.4, 104.2, 108.4, 111.8, 115.8,} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{121.7, 124.1, 141.3} \][/tex]

There are 100 values, so the median is the average of the 50th and 51st values:

Median ≈ (77.7 + 77.7) / 2

Median ≈ 77.7 kg

For ANSUR II 2012, the mean and median will be the same as the ANSUR Upper I 1988 dataset, as the provided weights are identical.

Therefore, it does not appear that males have become heavier between 1988 and 2012, as the mean and median weights remain approximately the same in both years.
