Descriptive Statistics: Ages of Men Variable N N* Mean SE Mean StDev Minimum Q1 Median Q3 Ages of Men 84 0 31.179 0.983 9.013 19.000 23.000 28.500 38.750 Variable Maximum Ages of Men 50.000 Descriptive Statistics: Ages of Women Variable N N* Mean SE Mean StDev Minimum Q1 Median Q3 Ages of Women 84 0 29.79 1.78 16.30 18.00 22.00 24.00 31.00 Variable Maximum Ages of Women 99.00 That’s right! The StDev is higher for females; therefore their ages vary more!
