Question

Your task is to calculate the average height of students in the class. You will gather each of the student’s height and put it in a list. then you will throw out the shortest and tallest height to take care of any statistical anomalies. Then you will add the heights and divide by the number of student’s in the class.

Heights of Students in inches

Max=77
Josefine=67
Hannah=66
Mia=65
Ben=74
Kevin=70
Marie=64
Aidan=70

Steps On Python:

Declare a list to contain the heights in inches

Ask the user to input values

Add each value to the list

Use appropriate list function to find smallest object

Use appropriate list function to remove that smallest object

Use appropriate list function to find largest object

Use appropriate list function to remove that largest object

Use appropriate list function to add objects in the list,

Then Use appropriate list function to divide that amount by the number of objects in the list

Then print the objects and the average height of students in the class.

----------------------------------------------------CODE-----------------------------------------------------

#list declaration heights
heights=[]
#converting num into int and input number of students
num=int(input("Enter the number of students:"))

#input heights from user
print("Enter the heights of students in inches:")
for i in range(num):
x=int(input("->"))
heights.append(x)
  
#Minimum found using "min" function
Min=min(heights)
#removing Minimum height from the list
heights.remove(Min)

#Maximum found using "max" function
Max=max(heights)
#removing Maximum height from the list
heights.remove(Max)

#total sum of heights
sum=0
for height in heights:
sum=sum+height
  
#average (max and min excluded so thats why (num-2))
average=sum/(num-2)

#printing the objects
print("\nThe remaining heights of the students are :")
for height in heights:
print(height,end=" ")
  
#printing average height
#round function is used to round floats number upto 2 decimal
print("\nThe Average height of the students is "+str(round(average,2)))
