Height-for-age standardsThe World Health Organization (WHO) has produced a comprehensive set of growth standards for children. These standards are based on studies of children living in 6 nations on 5 continents under optimal conditions with respect to health and nutrition. The table displays the percentile distribution of height, in centimeters, at 3-month intervals, for boys ages 2 through 5 according to the WHO model In a model population-a large population of boys ages 2 through 5 that conforms to the WHO growth standards—for n = 3,15,50,85, and 97, the nth percentile in height for a given age is the unique height among boys of that age that is greater than or equal to n percent, and less than or equal to (100- n) percent, of heights of boys of that age.Weight-for-height standardsThe graph shows the percentile distribution of weight, in kilograms, for heights from 80 cm to 120 cm, for boys ages 2 through 5, according to the WHO model. In a model population, for n = 3,15,50,85, and 97, the nth percentile in weight for a giver height is the unique weight among boys of that height that is greater than or equal to n percent, and less than or equal to (100-n) percent, of weights of boys of that age.

Much research has been devoted to investigating what motivates consumers to try new products. Previous consumer research suggests that both the price of a new product and the way it is advertised affect consumers` perceptions of the product`s performance risk (the possibility that the product will not function as consumers expect and/or will not provide the desired benefits). [line:8]Some of this research[/line:8] has concluded that a relatively high price will reduce a consumer`s perception of the performance risk associated with purchasing a particular product, while [line:12][hl:1]other studies[/hl:1][/line:12] have reported that price has little or no effect on perceived performance risk. These conflicting findings may simply be due to the nature of product advertisements: a recent study indicates that the presentation of an advertised message has a marked effect on the relationship between price and perceived performance risk.Researchers have identified consumers` perception of the credibility of the source of an advertised message – i.e., the manufacturer-as another factor affecting perceived performance risk: one study found that the greater the source credibility, the lower the consumer`s perception of the risk of purchasing an advertised new product. However, [line:25][hl:2]past research[/hl:2][/line:25] suggests that the relationship between source credibility and perceived performance risk may be more complex: source credibility may interact with price in a subtle way to affect consumers` judgments of the performance risk associated with an advertised product.
