Summary Introduction
To determine: The body size of Person T based on his weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI-for-age percentile.
Introduction: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts are used to determine physical growth in children of 2–20 years of age. These charts are gender specific and are plotted in percentiles. These charts help in assessing and identifying health-related problems in children.
Expert Solution & Answer

(127 cm), which was between 75th and 90th percentiles for his age. With the BMI (19.25) at the 95th percentile for his age, his growth percentiles were increasing every year.
