Q. As part of a weight-loss program in a private men's club, all members were weighed at one of their monthly meetings. It was found that their weights were uniformly distributed over the interval [184, 246]. Based on these facts, which of the following best approximates the percent of the members whose weight was over 200 pounds?
A. Uniform function: 1/b-a where 184<x<246
a=184
b=246
F(x) = 1/ 62
Basically find the area under the function to find the probability:
weight over 200 pounds = P(X>200) = b * h = (246-200) * 1/64 = 23/32 or 0.719 (3dp)
a=184
b=246
F(x) = 1/ 62
Basically find the area under the function to find the probability:
weight over 200 pounds = P(X>200) = b * h = (246-200) * 1/64 = 23/32 or 0.719 (3dp)
How do I calculate body mass index for women?
Q. I've searched all over the internet and asked all my friends but I haven't found a definitive answer. If weight loss techniques are different for men and women, then they must have different formulas for bmi, right?
Also, please recommend a good weight loss program, something that will work for a recently pregnant mom. Thank you.

A. Hi Becky
The BMI calculation is Weight in KG/Height in Meters Squared & makes no allowances for males & females, however the Navy's body fat percentage formula does adding a hip measurement for females

Is it just me, or are there a lot more weight loss programs now?
Q. I think Tony Ferguson started it, and now every man and his dog has got a weight loss program involving substituting a meal replacement for a proper healthy meal.
I'm sure there were others before Tony Ferguson but they just seem to be more in your face now.
What do you think?

A. Its true. They have to make that money money money
So they supersize my meals and commercialize every Food Place I drive by everyday. Then they over advertise me with all these so called "wonderful" diets.
Those bastards.
Bloody hell "I am on to them I tell you"

Does anyone know of any good weight loss programs,diets or pills?
Q. Im a mom of 2 and i know i am about 100lbs overweight. I have no reason to be this big. I have excersice videos but I loose like 2 to 3lbs and then i gain it right back. So i was wondering if anyone knew of any good weight loss programs, diets or pills? I saw the ad for the HCG drop and I was also wondering if anyone knew if the drops were good. I also want the weight gone by the fall I plan to have a wedding then.Thanks and serious answers only.
A. Are you using the drops?
A 500 calorie per day diet is considered anorexic. Mix it with a hormone from pregnant women's urine and you get a miracle diet!
All over the counter hcg products were announced as illegal and fraudulent by the FDA on January 24, 2011. Testing concluded that all over the counter oral and injection products on the market have little to no real hcg in them but most a similar synthetic hormone. I was in GNC last week. They carry three brands of hcg drops and not one of them has any hcg in them. The well trained salesman even admitted it when I mentioned it. They contained "similar hormones" or amino acids.
Anyone that lost weight especially with the drops did it because they ate fewer calories than they burned. The hcg acted as the placebo to help them lose the weight.
The only approved use for hcg is to increase fertility in both men and women.
Next year will mark 60 years since this fraudulent science was started.
The doctors exploiting this benign hormone with the ability to prescribe injections can't even agree on how it works. Some say it releases stored fat calories into the system. Others say it acts as an appetite suppressant.
Neither explanation justifies the weight loss in the individuals taking the oral drops with NO hcg in them that still lost weight. I am confident the hcg diet has a 95% failure rate just like every other controversial diet plan out there.
By the way, the expensive "clinical injections" are not covered by insurance since it is not FDA approved. What doctor wouldn't want to get an "all cash" practice going?
Check out these clips before going further. Just aired a few months ago.

So the question is are you willing to risk your health with an extreme diet treatment based on testimonial evidence as opposed to clinical research evidence, and the statements from doctors in this all cash business?
