Question

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Body Mass Index (BMI) is a statistic that indicates the ratio of a person's weight to their body volume. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) uses the table to classify children from ages 2 to 20. Because BMI values change as children grow, the CDC uses percentiles rather than fixed values for BMI. Percentiles provide a basis of comparison for BMI over time. Weight status Percentile range Underweight Less than the 5th percentile Healthy weight 5th percentile to less than the 85th percentile Overweight 85th to less than the 95th percentile Obese Equal to or greater than the 95th percentile Based on data from WHO, a representative sample of 15-year-old males could consist of the following 15 values. 18.1, 18.6, 15.9, 17.6, 21.9, 16.9, 20.8, 19.4, 21.3, 22.7, 19.0, 20.3, 19.8, 30.8, 24.3 85th percentile:
