Chapter 4, Problem 3(choose chapter or problem)
The body mass index (BMI) of a person is defined to be the person's body mass divided by the square of the person's height. The article "Influences of Parameter Uncertainties within the ICRP 66 Respiratory Tract Model: Particle Deposition" (W. Bolch, E. Farfan, et al., Health Physics, 2001:378-394) states that body mass index \(\left(\text { in } \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\right)\) in men aged is lognormally distributed with parameters \(\mu=3.215 \text { and } \sigma=0.157\).
a. Find the mean BMI for men aged .
b. Find the standard deviation of BMI for men aged 25-34.
c. Find the median BMI for men aged 25-34.
d. What proportion of men aged have a BMI less than 22 ?
e. Find the 75 th percentile of BMI for men aged 25-34.
