a. What is the difference between the pulse rate of 36 beats per minute and the mean pulse rate of the females?
b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]?
c. Convert the pulse rate of 36 beats per minutes to a z score.
d. If we consider pulse rates that convert to z scores between −2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the pulse rate of 36 beats per minute significant?
