WebMath: stats

[Stephen Haigh]

For a few years now I have had to teach a stats course (not my strongest subject) to classes of science and social science students.  Does anyone have any interesting / curious / but real values for mean and s.d. apart from intelligence test scores and the lifetimes of electric light bulbs?  What is the s.d. of shoe sizes or the sugar content of normal blood samples?
