Statistics: Shoe Size and Foot
FINAL PROJECT STATISTICS
DENISE CAPALBO
Gender statistics is an area that cuts across traditional fields of statistics to identify, produce and disseminate statistics that reflect the realities of the lives of women and men, and policy issues relating to gender.
Women can still wear men's shoes, but the size they are accustomed to will be labeled differently in the men's sizes. Although the shoe size is related to the length of your foot, the sizes do not follow a direct formula. Subtract 1 1/2 from your size, if you are a size 6. Therefore, your equivalent men's size would be a 4 1/2.
Above is a dot graph showing the female comparison if she was to convert to a male shoe by length. It is a difference in length by a size and a half. This decision by Nyke is not a good company decision because as you can see based on the female to male conversion that the size difference is significantly larger for women due to the difference in foot length determines the size of shoe.
