CTION INTRODU

Introduction..
Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. eople are considered obese when their body mass index (BMI), a measurement obtained by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of the person's height in metres, exceeds 30 kg/m2. Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food energy intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications or psychiatric illness. Evidence to support the view that some obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is limited; on average obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass. Dieting and physical exercise are the mainstays of treatment for obesity. Diet quality can be improved by reducing the consumption of energy-dense foods such as those high in fat and sugars, and by increasing the intake of dietary fiber. Anti-obesity drugs may be taken to reduce appetite or inhibit fat absorption together with a suitable diet. If diet, exercise and medication are not effective, a gastric balloon may assist with weight loss, or surgery may be performed to reduce stomach volume and/or bowel length, leading to earlier satiation and reduced ability to absorb nutrients from food.

Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide, with increasing prevalence in adults and children, and authorities view it as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. Obesity is stigmatized in much of the modern world (particularly in the Western world), though it was widely perceived as a symbol of wealth and fertility at other times in history, and still is in some parts of the world. In 2013, the American Medical Association classified obesity as a disease.

History ..
The History of statistics can be said to start around 1749 although, over time, there have been changes to the interpretation of the word statistic. In early times, the meaning was restricted to information about states. This was later extended to include all collections of information of all types, and later still it was extended to include the analysis and interpretation of such data. In modern terms, "statistics" means both sets of collected information, as in national accounts and temperature records, and analytical work which requires statistical inference. Statistical activities are often associated with models expressed using probabilities, and require probability theory for them to be put on a firm theoretical basis: see History of probability. A number of statistical concepts have had an important impact on a wide range of sciences. These include the design of experiments and approaches to statistical inference such as Bayesian inference, each of which can be considered to have their own sequence in the development of the ideas underlying modern statistics.

Statistics Today
Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, and interpretation of data. It deals with all aspects of this, including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments. The word statistics,when referring to the scientific discipline, is singular, as in "Statistics is an art." This

should not be confused with the word statistic, referring to a quantity (such as mean or median) calculated from a set of data. The earliest writing on statistics was found in a 9th century book entitled: "Manuscript on Deciphering Cryptographic Messages", written by Al-Kindi (801873 CE). In his book, Al-Kindi gave a detailed description of how to use statistics and frequency analysis to decipher encrypted messages, this was the birth of both statistics and cryptanalysis, according to Ibrahim Al-Kadi. Some scholars pinpoint the origin of statistics to 1663, with the publication of Natural and Political Observations upon the Bills of Mortalityby John Graunt. Today, statistics is widely employed in government, business, and the natural and social sciences.Its mathematical foundations were laid in the 17th century with the development of probability theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat.

IVE OBJECT

Objectives..
We students taking Additional Mathematics are required to carry out a project work while we are in Form 5. This year the Curriculum Development Division, Ministry of Education has prepared task for us. We need to choose and complete only one task based on our interest. This project can be done in group or individually. Upon completion of the Additional Mathematics project work, we can gain valuables experience and able to: Apply mathematics to everyday situation and appreciate the important and the beauty of mathematics in everyday lives.

 Knowledge and skills are applied in meaningful ways in solving real-life problems. Expressing ones mathematical thinking, reasoning and communication are highly encouraged and expected. Stimulate and enhances effective learning. Acquire effective mathematical communication through oral and writing and to use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas correctly and precisely. Enhance acquisition of mathematical knowledge and skills through problem-solving in way that increase interest and confidence. Prepare ourselves for the demand of our future undertakings and in workplace. Realize that mathematics is an important and powerful tool in solving real life problems and hence develop positive attitude toward mathematics. Train ourselves not only to be independent learners but also to collaborate to cooperate and to share knowledge in an engaging and healthy environment. Use technology especially the ICT appropriately and effectively. Train ourselves to appreciate the intrinsic value of mathematics and to become more creative and innovative. We are expected to submit the project work within three weeks for the first day the task is being admixture to us.

N STIO E U Q

Task Specification.. Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy or increased health problems.

Science club in your school intends to carry out a study on the ideal body fat percentage in human body. As the president of the Science club, you are required to collect data randomly which consists of 40 students (below 20 years old) and 40 adults (20-55 years old). It is advisable to use equal number of males and females for each category. PART 1 a) Compile your data by using the following format. Respon Gender Height(m) Weight(kg) Age(years) dent 1 2 80 b)By using at least two methods , find the mean, mode, median, range, interquartile range, variance and standard deviation for the weights of thge respondents in the form of ungrouped data. ( without considering the age and gender of the respondents ) PART 2 Construct a frequency table for the grouped data for the weights obtained in ascending or descending order. Class Tally Midpoint, x Frequency, f

interval

a) Represent your data from the frequency distributiontable by using three different statistical graphs. Hence, i) Estimate the mode ii) Find the median and interquartile range of the weight of the respondents. b)Calculate (i)the mean, mode and median, (ii)Range, interquartile range and standard deviation, for the weights of the respondents. Compare and comment the answers of Part 1 and Part 2.

PART 3 Based on your answers in Part 1 and Part 2, determine the measurements of central tendency (mean, mode, and median ) or measurements of dispersion (range, interquartile range, variance and standard deviation)

which will be your most suitable choice to represent the weights of the respondents. Give your reason.

Further Exploration... The amount of body fat, your body fat percentage, makes s difference to your body shape and your health. Most sources agree that the human body requires a certain amount of fat for good health. Fat helps to regulate body temperature, store nergy, cushion and insulate organs. The following table describes body fat ranges and their associated categories. General Body Fat Percentage Categories Description Male Female Essential Fat 3-4 % 11-14% Athletes 5-11% 15-18% Normal 12-18% 19-24% Overweight 19-24% 26-31% Obese >24% >31% Formulae to calculate the body fat percentage. % of Body Fat for Children*=(1.51x BMI) (0.70 x Age )(3.6 x Gender **)+1.4 % of Body Fat for Adult* =(1.20x BMI) (0.23x Age)(10.8x Gender**) +5.4 Notes: BMI *Children = Aged 19 years and below

*Adult-Aged 20 years and above **Male= 1 **Female= 0

a) b)

c) d)

Calculate the body fat percentage for each and every respondent. Based on the information given and data collected, determined the percentage of respondents that are athletes and obese. Represent your finding using statistical graphs. Compare and comment on the relation between (i) Age and body fat percentage (ii) Gender and body fat percentage Suggest ways to help a person to achieve and maintain a healthy life depending on body fat percentage. (Find the information from the internet and state the website address in your bibliography.)

REFLECTION While you were conducting the project, what have you learnt? What moral values didi you practise? Represent your opinions or feelings creatively through usage of symbols, illustrations, drawings or even in a song.

CONCLUSION

Conclusion The conclusion is we can categories a person in five categories. First categories are essential fat, then athletes, normal, overweight and lastly obese. The categories were differentiating from the others by a fixed body fat percentage range for each category. A person is called as essential fat if his body fat percentage is 3-4%, while she is 11-14%. The athletes will have 5-

11% (male) and 15-18% (female). The normal category usually will have 12% to 15% in male category while female is 19% to 24%. An overweight person has body fat percentage that is 19% to 24% in male and 26% to 31% in female. When a person has a higher body fat percentage than that range, that person will be called as obese as if his body fat percentage is higher than 24% and her body fat percentage is 31%. From the survey that have been done, we can conclude that the majority of the respondents are in the athletes and normal category. However, there are still respondents who are in overweight and obese categories. A few of them were in essential fat category. This shows us that nowadays, people dont like to be fat. A healthy person or in the other word the normal person is someone that doesnt doing something in extreme. People often think of healthy eating as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation for any healthy diet is moderation. Despite what certain fact diets would have you believe, we all need a balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to sustain a healthy body. So, we should eats moderately and always follow the daily requirement of the human body. As conclusion, we must take care of our healthy body.
