Example 88.5
Example 88.5: A recent study of the influence of diet and exercise on skeletal muscle and visceral adipose tissue in obese men found that men who used diet and resistance training for 16 weeks changed their waist circumference by an average of -4.69 inches. The standard deviation was 1.57 inches. The changes in waist circumferences were normally distributed. Find the change in waist circumference that corresponds to the 5th percentile (the change in waist circumference that corresponds to the smallest 5% change).
