Maria, Ivan, Leah, Julie, and Scott measured each other’s heights for health class The heights are 42 39 41, 37 and 39 inches
Julie is 2 inches shorter than Leah
Maria is 1 inch shorter than Scott and 2 inches taller than Leah
Okay, let's put the numbers in order:
42, 41, 39, 39, 37
Leah is 2 inches taller than someone, and 2 inches shorter than someone else. She must be a number that is 2 away from 2 different numbers.
Further more, the number that is 2 above hers must be 1 below another number. The only pair of numbers that are 1 away from each other are 42 and 41.
So, right off the bat: Leah can only be 39 inches tall. No other number fits.
Maria and Scott are 41 and 42. They're the only numbers within one of each other, and also 41 - 2 = 39, which is how tall Leah is.
Julie is 2 inches shorter than Leah, so she is at 37, which is in our set of numbers.
We have no information about Ivan, but every other number is accounted for, so Ivan is our second 39 inch person.
Final result:
Maria - 41
Ivan - 39
Leah - 39
Julie - 37
Scott - 42

Which part of the health triangle is measured by what you do as well as what you don't do?
Physical Health.
Does height affect your health?
height totally affects your health in your weight and growth if somebody dosent have enough healthy protins then they will not be taller than most people it also has to do with genetics like if most your family is shorter than you will maybe be the same
How tall will you be if you are now 15 and 5'5 and your mom is 4'7 and dad is 6'2?
All that can be said is that, unless you have a major accident, you will be at least 5'5". The whole theory of regression was developed because Dalton observed that tall parents tended to have tall children and short parent tended to have short children but that the children's heights REGRESSED towards the overall population mean. So your parents' height is only a part of the determinant. Your gender, health, your grandparents' heights will all play a part.
What are the three sides of the heath triangle?
Physical health, Mental/Emotional health, and Social health.
Survey research in health care?
