Looks to me like the average person has 15.5 children, they have an average
height of 114 inches (9.5 feet) and weigh between 15 & 30 pounds, and were
born somewhere around 10 a.d. :)
Seriously, they are just summary statistics and could have been generated by
any number of programs. If you don't know what they mean then just look in
any intro stats text book or see the help for the summarize command. This
has the look and feel of a "homework problem" which may make people
reluctant to answer it, so if not you might clarify why you are interested.
