    a.) 15% of males 3 to 5 months of age have a head circumference that is 41.0 cm or less, while 85% have a head circumference that is greater than 41.0 cm.
    
    b.) 90% of females 2 years of age have a waist circumference of 52.7 cm or less, while 10% have a waist circumference that is greater than 52.7 cm. 
    
    c.) As the age group increases, the heights decrease at each percentile. We might conclude that males are getting taller.
