\n" ); document.write( "The number of students, 26, is an exact number; the number of students has to be a whole number.

\n" ); document.write( "The average height, 5'10\", is approximate. Heights can be measured to any desired degree of precision; the average height -- as well as the height of any one student -- does not have to be a whole number of inches.
