The presence of impossible values (e.g., extremely high or low weights/heights) could be due to data entry errors or misreporting. For example, a weight of 50 kg for a child under 5 years old would be unrealistic. After calculating BMI for all valid records, analyze the distribution of BMI values to assess the overweight and obesity prevalence among the children under 5 years old. Consider visualizing the data with histograms or box plots to identify trends and distributions.
