Question

The following are body mass index (BMI) scores measured in 9 patients who are free of diabetes and participating in a study of risk factors for obesity. Body mass index is measured as the ratio of weight in kilograms to height in meters squared. 25 27 31 33 26 28 38 41 24 The range of the BMI values is?

Answer 1

Answer :

given data :-

body mass index (BMI) scores measured in patients = 9

the ratio of weight in kilograms to height in meters squared = 25 27 31 33 26 28 38 41 24

now we arrange the values minimum to maximum

= 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31, 33, 38, 41

Now we need to find out the range of the BMI values

we know that,

Range = maximum value - minimum value

= 41 - 24

= 17

  The range of the BMI values is : 17
