Answer:

218.7 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the  weight of male american between the ages 18 to 25 is normally distributed, with mean of 162.7 lb and a standard deviation of 28 lb.

One definition of obesity states that a person is obese if the z-score of his or her weight is greater than 2.

We will use z-score formula to solve our given problem.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, where,

z=\text{ z-score},

x=\text{ Random sample-score},

\mu=\text{ Mean},

\sigma=\text{ Standard deviation}.

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula we will get,

2=\frac{x-162.7}{28}

Now let us solve for x.

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 28 we will get,

2*28=\frac{x-162.7}{28}*28

56=x-162.7

Let us add 162.7 to both sides of our equation.

56+162.7=x-162.7+162.7

218.7=x

Therefore, the obesity threshold weight for a young adult American male is 218.7 pounds.
