Title

Using statistical knowledge to calculate the standard deviation of the B.M.I of the two classes.

Statement of Problem
The spread of the body mass index (B.M.I) of two classes are to be calculated using the methods of standard deviation.

Methods of Data Collection

To obtain the data needed, a scale and a measuring tape was used. Starting with the scale, the masses of each student of the both classes were recorded. Then, their heights were taken shortly after using the measuring tape. Some recording might be slightly incorrect

Presentation of Data
Using the masses and the heights collected, the body mass index of each individual was calculated Body Mass Index Frequency 10-15 9 16-20 6 21-25 9 26-30 3 31-35 3 Table: 1 showing the names of the students together with their corresponding masses and heights for class one (1).
