Claudia took her two sons to the pediatrician, Dr. Laverde. Matt is 11 years old and 4ft 9in tall. Nick is 18 years old and 6ft 1in tall.

Dr. Laverde used the kids ages and statures info and the attached Stature-for-age percentiles chart to determine Matt and Nick's heights percentiles. Dr. Laverde gave the results to Claudia, but she did not understand entirely the whole "percentile story".

Use the attached chart to determine Matt and Nick stature percentiles and explain the results in a more "understandable" way. Determine whether Claudia's kids are in a normal height range for their age. Explain your answer
