Question

News reports speak of an emerging crisis of childhood obesity in the United States. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a government survey run every several years recording a number of vital statistics on a random sample of Americans. A body mass index (BMI) is computed for each individual in the sample based on the individual's height and weight. Here are sample results for 8-year-old boys over the past 40 years. The table gives the sample size for 3 different surveys, the sample mean and sample standard deviation. Suppose we want to run an ANOVA to see if there is a difference in mean BMI for the three surveys. Assume each survey is a random sample and there are no extreme outliers.
What is the sample standard deviations for each survey?
