This one's a bit of an oddball. A small line means low variation. For instance, if you just sit on the couch and think hard, you will lose between 0 and 7.5 ounces of weight. That range is only 7.5 ounces.
If you have gastric bypass, though, you may lose 45 ounces, or you may lose 120 ounces. That's a whopping range of 75 ounces, much greater than sitting on the couch and thinking hard. There's a lot of variation here.
You will be more certain exactly how much weight you will lose, then, if you sit on the couch and think hard than if you have gastric bypass.
So our task boils down to finding the three shortest lines. These are sitting on the couch and thinking hard, West Coast, and appetite suppressant drug.
