Using data from NHANES, we looked at pulse rates of nearly 800 people to see whether men or women tended to have higher pulse rates. Refer to the Minitab output provided.
a. Report the sample means, and state which group had the higher sample mean pulse rate.
b. Use the Minitab output to test the hypothesis that pulse rates for men and women are not equal, using a significance level of 0.05. The samples are large enough so that Normality is not an issue.
