Pulse rates of adult females are listed in Data Set 1 "Body Data" in Appendix B. The lowest pulse rate is 36 beats per minute, the mean of the listed pulse rates is xÌ… = 74.0 beats per minute, and their standard deviation is s = 12.5 beats per minute.
Data Set 1

a. What is the difference between the pulse rate of 36 beats per minute and the mean pulse rate of the females?
b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
c. Convert the pulse rate of 36 beats per minutes to a z score.
d. If we consider pulse rates that convert to z scores between -2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the pulse rate of 36 beats per minute significant?
Express all z scores with two decimal places.
