Personal Statistics
Human beings come in all shapes and sizes, but our distribution of height and weight forms a predictable shape. When you work with this exhibit you can step up on the scale to record your height and weight and add it to a graph specific to your gender. Personal Statistics allows you to compare your statistics to everyone else that has participated. How do you compare? Consider things such as age, lifestyle, and genetics to imagine the characteristics of the previous people who used the exhibit. Since data is constantly being collected, the relative location of your personal statistics on the graph may change.
