Analysis
Body mass index (BMI) is a key index for relating weight to height. It can be calculated by a
person's weight in kilograms (kg) divided by his or her height in meters squared (BMI = kg/m2).
Sample Calculation for Conversion from cm to m:
100cm=1m
∴185cm=185/100
=1.85m
Sample Calculation for Calculating BMI:
Weight= 48 kg
Height =1.85m
Using the formula: BMI= kg/m2
BMI =48/1.852
BMI =48/3.4225
BMI=14
Average BMI of Males:
Total no. of males=18
Using the formula: Average male BMI= Total BMI/Total no. of males
Average male BMI= ∑BMI/18
Average male BMI= 378.7/18
Average male BMI = 21.04kg/m2
Average BMI of Females:
Total no. of females = 18
Using the formula: Average female BMI= Total BMI/Total no. of females
Average female BMI= ∑BMI/18
Average female BMI=408.8/18
Average female BMI= 22.70kg/m2
Percentage of Males per BMI Category (Pie Chart):
Total no. of males= 18
No. of underweight males=6
Using the formula: (No. of underweight males/total no. of males) ×100
Underweight males= (6/18) ×100= 33.3%
No. of normal weight males=9
Using the formula: (No. of normal weight males/total no. of males) ×100
Normal weight males= (9/18) ×100= 50.0%
No. of overweight males=3
Using the formula: (No. of overweight males/total no. of males) ×100
Overweight males= (3/18) ×100= 16.7%
No. of obese class 1 males=0
Using the formula: (No. of obese class 1 males/total no. of males) ×100
Obese class 1 males= (0/18) ×100= 0%
No. of obese class 2 males=0
Using the formula: (No. of obese class 2 males/total no. of males) ×100
Obese class 2 males= (0/18) ×100= 0%
No. of obese class 3 males=0
Using the formula: (No. of obese class 3 males/total no. of males) ×100
Obese class 3 males= (0/18) ×100= 0%
Percentage of Females per BMI Category (Pie Chart):
Total no. of females= 18
No. of underweight females =6
Using the formula: (No. of underweight females /total no. of females) ×100
Underweight females = (6/18) ×100= 33.3%
No. of normal weight females=6
Using the formula: (No. of normal weight females /total no. of females) ×100
Normal weight females= (6/18) ×100= 33.3%
No. of overweight females =3
Using the formula: (No. of overweight females /total no. of females) ×100
Overweight females = (5/18) ×100= 27.7%
No. of obese class 1 females=0
Using the formula: (No. of obese class 1 females /total no. of females) ×100
Obese class 1 females= (0/18) ×100= 0%
No. of obese class 2 females=1
Using the formula: (No. of obese class 2 females/total no. of females) ×100
Obese class 2 females= (1/18) ×100= 5.5%
No. of obese class 3 females=0
Using the formula: (No. of obese class 3 females/total no. of females) ×100
Obese class 3 females= (0/18) ×100= 0%
