2. One of the symptoms of the flu is an elevated pulse rate. Pulse rates (in beats per minute) for n = 23 patients with the flu are provided. Use Minitab to answer the following

*Hint: adjust the output from Minitab to display the mean, the standard deviation, the minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum, and IQR and that will help answer all the questions below.

75 80 81 82 82 83 84 85 86 88 88 90
90 90 91 92 93 93 95 97 99 101 110

b.) Find the standard deviation of the pulse rates. Use two decimal places in your answer.

c.) Give the five-number summary of these pulse rates.

d.) Are there any outliers? If so, which data points? Clearly show your work to justify your answer.
