A study by the national center for health statistics found that the BMI of American young women (ages 20-29) has a mean of 26.8
and a standard deviation of 7.4. Circle the best answer. a. Using the 68-96-99.7% rule, approximately 84% of this population would have a BMI that is more than 19.4
b. The national center for health defines a person with a BMI that is in the lower 13% of the population to be underweight. According to this definition, young female with a BMI of 19.6 is underweight.
c. The national center for health defines a person with a BMI associated with a z-score of 0.43 or more to be overweight. According to this definition approximately a person with a BMI of 31.0 is overweight
If you're trying to find the missing side of the "triangle" (the distance from the house to where the ladder touches the ground), you would use the pythagorean theorem, a²+b²=c². (c is always hypotenuse)
