  1. Blood pressure: A blood pressure measurement consists of two numbers: the systolic pressure, which is the maximum pressure taken when the heart is contracting, and the diastolic pressure, which is the minimum pressure taken at the beginning of the heartbeat. Blood pressure were measured, in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), for a example of 16 adults. The following table presents the results.
