The first source on obesity statistics is from the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). This website is for policymakers to give them access to research‚ technical assistance and opportunities to exchange ideas on state issues. This information captures the basic overview where obesity occurred in

WHAT IS STATISTICS? Statistics is the mathematical science involved in the application of quantitative principles to the collection‚ analysis‚ and presentation of numerical data. The practice of statistics utilizes data from some population in order to describe it meaningfully‚ to draw conclusions from it‚ and make informed decisions. The population may be a community‚ an organization‚ a production line‚ a service counter‚ or a phenomenon such as the weather. Statisticians determine which quantitative

eliminated‚ that is‚ . This statistic ranges from -1 to +1. Absolute values above 0.2 indicate great skewness (Hildebrand‚ 1986). Skewness has also been defined with respect to the third moment about the mean: ‚ which is simply the expected value of the distribution of cubed z scores. Skewness measured in this way is sometimes referred to as “Fisher’s skewness.” When the deviations from the mean are greater in one direction than in the other direction‚ this statistic will deviate from zero in
