(3)Mode
The class interval that having the highest frequency is 41-50
Hence, the mode is 24.

(4)Explaination
Mean is the best measure of central tendency to represent the data
because:

The mean represent all the value of the weight of the 50

students.

Mean also more precise and accurate compare to the median

and mode.

The conclusion that I can make is, the value

are not different too much fom each other. For
Example the c(i) is 12.44, c(ii) is 13.23 and c(iii)
is 10.94. So, the range is 2.29 only. Therefore,
these three type of standard deviation can be
use to find the most accurate standard
deviation for a certain grouped or ungrouped
data. For more accurate try to use more class

Based on the table in the page above, we know that the students in 4 Ibnu
Rusyd, 4 Ibnu Khaldun and 4 Al-Razi do not obess. Only 4 of them are
underweight. This situation happened maybe due to the students eating
habits. Besides that 90% of these students are scholls athlets. The
students that are overweight maybe they didnt obey to the food pyramid.
Let we see the percentage of the the overweight students :

Overweight = 4

Obesity Awareness
Campaign

As a student, to ensure that the campaign will success, I can

take part in every activity that it have. Besides that I will
motivate my friend using the information that I have got from
this project. I will tell them the effect of obesity to them such as
heart attack, diabeties and stroke. More over , I also can help
my friend that are obess by giving them a lot of physical
exercise and some tips to them how to balance body weight.
Futhermore, my father is a doctor. So, I can bring my fathers
research about obesity and food that he was made last year. I
also will help teachers and who ever to ensure this campaign
reach it objective.

Conclusion
Based on the research, I see that there is no obess students in
SMKAS. Although this research only take 50 students, but this
50 students are represent the whole students in SMKAS.
Parallax error maybe happened in this research. So, I use many
ways of calculation information to find the accurate and best
result.
Only 4 students overweight in this research. It represent
only 8% of the whole research. This shows that the students
have good eating habits and the canteen also sell the food high
in vitamin and protien. The overweight students are A.Amirul,
Amirul, Hassan and Syamim. For me, they have many chances
to balance their weight. With teachers help, I think they can
stay in normal category.
Obesity are very dangerous because it can lead to death.
So, It is vcery important to prevent it by eating using food

pyramid. Only this way can prevent who ever from obess and
suffer in many kinds of dangerous diseases. Besies that, by
taking part in Obesity Wareness Campaign also can make some
one avoiding obesity.
