Analyzing BMI Differences by Gender

The assignment explores the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and gender. It analyzes the difference in BMI values between males and females with a BMI of 32 or higher using a two-tailed test. The research hypothesis posits that there is a significant difference in BMI values based on gender, aiming to confirm the alternative hypothesis that the average BMI for both genders at or above 32 is different.

INTRODUCTION
Biostatic is known as one of the crucial applications of statistics which is used at a wide
range of matters in biology. This will assist in analysing research questions in medicine and
public health to determine whether new aspects related with an individual can be beneficial for
people or not. The project provides crucial information about descriptive data regarding available
observation.
A. Evaluating age difference among males and females by using two tailed test
A two tailed test is known as main statistical which is more crucial for distributing two
side and test, whether a sample is having higher or less than a range of values. In case sample
test falls into any of critical areas, the alternative hypothesis will be accepted in accordance with
null hypothesis. In the mentioned case, comparison among male and female age is done to check
any impacts or changes.

Interpretation:
From the above table, it has been seen that there is significant difference present in age of
males and females. Because the outcomes is less than 0.5 and results generated is only 0.048. If
it has been seen in the group statistics, mean value of male and female is not much of difference.

B. Assuming crucial aspects related with BMI
It is known as an appropriate measure of whether an individual is over or underweight. It is
derived from total weight and height of an individual. The BMI used to divide by making square
of body height. According to the mentioned case about BMI of 32 and higher. On the basis of
various difference those are arises among male and female on total body mass index of 32 is
being analyse by using two tailed test. The research hypothesis is designed accordingly:
a) Null hypothesis (H0): In the first case, total value of BMI 32 is lower than 32.
b) Alternative hypothesis (H1): In the next case, it is 32 or more than 32. For the further
calculation, their outcome is mentioned underneath:

Interpretation: According to the above mentioned calculation, it has been seen that there
is significant difference of .000 among BMI 32 of both males and females. There is significant
difference exist by using two tailed test. In this context, alternative hypnosis is approving in this
relationship.
CONCLUSION
From the above project, it has been concluded that there are various research aspects that
are needed to be analyse by using distinctive evaluation of variables. Further, this project would

assist in better understanding of research sample test and their interpretation to examine curial
outcomes.
