Wider Shoes for Wider Feet?
Meyer, Mary C.
Journal of Statistics Education, v14 n1 Mar 2006
From a very young age, shoes for boys tend to be wider than shoes for girls. Is this because boys have wider feet, or because it is assumed that girls are willing to sacrifice comfort for fashion, even in elementary school? To assess the former, a statistician measures kids' feet. (Contains 2 tables and 3 figures.)
