  B)
  This is great news since it means you will have a larger baby than most.
  C)
  Being two standard deviations above the mean translates into that your child will likely be taller than 95 of children in the population.

Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The standard deviation determines how far a value varies or deviates from the mean. The points one standard deviation above or below the mean should include 68 of all values and two standard deviations 95 of all values. If a child's height is within one standard deviation of the mean, he is as tall as 68 of children in the population.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, B, C, E

Feedback:

The WHO definition of health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. Engaging in book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating physical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital in the prevention of disease and spread of germs.
