Caryn is more likely to have a higher body mass index than Wendy. b. Wendy is more likely to have a higher body mass index than Caryn. c. Wendy is less likely than Caryn to have attained a higher education. d. Caryn is more likely to have attained a higher occupational level than Wendy.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a.)

Explanation:

Since Caryn matured earlier when compared with her friend Wendy, she is more likely to have a higher body mass index than Wendy. This is true because body mass index is a function of weight and height and since Caryn matured earlier, she is more likely to weigh more and be taller than Wendy therefore having a higher body mass index when compared with Wendy. Body mass index (BMI) = Weight/$Height^{2}$ the units are in kg/$m^{2}$. Options c and d are not correct because education and occupational level has nothing to do with maturity
