Question
Is Your Nose Getting Bigger?

Next time you see an elderly man, check out his nose and ears! While most parts of the human body stop growing as we reach adulthood, studies show that noses and ears continue to grow larger throughout our lifetime. In one study1 examining noses, researchers report "Age significantly influenced all analyzed measurements:" including volume, surface area, height, and width of noses. In a test to see whether males, on average, have bigger noses than females, the study indicates that "p<0.01."

Let group 1 be males and group 2 be females.
