(b) Find the median. 25·425·726·026·826·927·1 27·6 27·728·128·228·7 28·828·929·329·629·831·1 BMI is given by weight (kg) / (height (m)) 2 e.g. weight = 74 kg, height = 1·69 m BMI = 74 ÷ (1·69) 2 = 25·9 In 2006, the maximum for army recruits was increased from 28 to 32. Tell your partner what numbers you would choose for the stem. Ans: The best choice is 25, 26,... 31 The leaves will show the tenths.
