Listed below are pulse rates (beats per minute) from samples of adult males and females. Find the mean and median for each of the two samples and then compare the two sets of results. Does there appear to be a difference? Male: 98 60 59 66 69 73 52 88 63 74 61 84 58 59 52 Female: 83 75 93 94 87 63 94 89 93 79 77 85 74 70 76 ----- Find the means. The mean for males is beats per minute and the mean for females is beats per minute. (Type integers or decimals rounded to one decimal place as needed.)

A boat capsized and sank in a lake. Based on an assumption of a mean weight of 142 lb, the boat was rated to carry 60 passengers (so the load limit was 8,520 lb). After the boat sank, the assumed mean weight for similar boats was changed from 142 lb to 171 lb. Complete parts a and b below. a. Assume that a similar boat is loaded with 60 passengers, and assume that the weights of people are normally distributed with a mean of 178.5 lb and a standard deviation of 36.9 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the 60 passengers have a mean weight greater than 142 lb. The probability is 1.000. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) C.. b. The boat was later rated to carry only 13 passengers, and the load limit was changed to 2,223 lb. Find the probability that the boat is overloaded because the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 171 (so that their total weight is greater than the maximum capacity of 2,223 lb). The probability is. (Round to four decimal…
