Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Computing Body Mass Index (BMI)

Materials: Calculator

Estimated Time: 10 minutes

Group Size: 2

Body mass index is a statistical measures of an individual's weight in relation to the person's height. It is computed by

BMI = 703 W h 2 were W is a person's weight in p o u n d s . h is the person's height in i n c h e s .

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) categorizes body mass indices as shown in the table.

Body Mass Index (BMI)	Weight Status
18.5 ≤ BMI ≤ 24.9	Considered ideal
25.0 ≤ BMI ≤ 29.9	Considered overweight
BMI ≥ 30.0	Considered obese

For a fixed height, body mass index is a function of a person's weight only. For example, for a person 72 in. tall (6ft), solve the following inequality to determine the person's ideal weight range.

18.5 ≤ 703 W ( 72 ) 2 ≤ 24.9
