Suppose that the heart beat per minute​ (bpm) of adult males has a normal distribution with a mean of mu equals 68μ=68 bpm and a standard deviation of sigma equals 11.3σ=11.3 bpm. Instead of using 0.05 for identifying significant​ values, use the criteria that a value x is significantly high if​ P(x or ​greater)less than or equals≤0.01 and a value is significantly low if​ P(x or ​less)less than or equals≤0.01. Find the pulse rates for males that separate significant pulse rates from those that are not significant. Using these​ criteria, is a male pulse rate of 90 beats per minute significantly​ high?

Question

Suppose that the heart beat per minute​ (bpm) of adult males has a normal distribution with a mean of

mu equals 68μ=68

bpm and a standard deviation of

sigma equals 11.3σ=11.3

bpm. Instead of using 0.05 for identifying significant​ values, use the criteria that a value x is significantly high if​ P(x or

​greater)less than or equals≤0.01

and a value is significantly low if​ P(x or

​less)less than or equals≤0.01.

Find the pulse rates for males that separate significant pulse rates from those that are not significant. Using these​ criteria, is a male pulse rate of

90

beats per minute significantly​ high?
