Question

For a data set of thw pulse rates of adult females, the lowest pulse rate is 36 beats per minute, the mean of the listed pulse rate is x=78.0 beats per minute, and their standard deviation is s=13.7 beats per minute. What is the difference between the pulse rate of 36 beats per minute and the mean pulse rate for females

Answer 1

The difference between the pulse rate of 36 beats per minute and the mean pulse rate for females is 42 beats per minute.

Explanation:

We are given that for a data set of the pulse rates of adult females, the lowest pulse rate is 36 beats per minute, the mean of the listed pulse rate is x = 78.0 beats per minute, and their standard deviation is s = 13.7 beats per minute.

The mean pulse rate for females =
`\bar x` = 78.0 beats per minute

The standard deviation of the listed pulse rate = s = 13.7 beats per minute

The given pulse rate is = 36 beats per minute

So, the difference between the pulse rate of 36 beats per minute and the mean pulse rate for females is given by;

=
`\bar x` - 36

= 78 - 36 = 42 beats per minute

Hence, the required difference is 42 beats per minute.
