QuestionPulse rates of non-smoking females before (mean 75.54, SD 11.62) and after exercise (mean 125.03, SD 25.86). Which is higher?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The mean pulse rate before exercise is75.54 bpm. The standard deviation of the pulse rate before exercise is11.62 bpm3. The mean pulse rate after running in place for one minute is125.03 bpm4. The standard deviation of the pulse rate after running in place for one minute is25.86 bpm

STEP 2

We need to compare the mean pulse rates before and after exercise.

STEP 3

First, let's write down the mean pulse rate before exercise.
Meanbefore=75.54bpmMean_{before} =75.54\, bpm

STEP 4

Next, let's write down the mean pulse rate after running in place for one minute.
Meanafter=125.03bpmMean_{after} =125.03\, bpm

STEP 5

Now, we compare the two mean pulse rates.
If Meanbefore<MeanafterMean_{before} < Mean_{after}, then the pulse rates before they exercised were less than the pulse rates after they ran in place for one minute.
If Meanbefore>MeanafterMean_{before} > Mean_{after}, then the pulse rates before they exercised were greater than the pulse rates after they ran in place for one minute.
If Meanbefore=MeanafterMean_{before} = Mean_{after}, then the pulse rates before they exercised were equal to the pulse rates after they ran in place for one minute.

STEP 6

Substitute the given values into the comparison.
75.54bpm<125.03bpm75.54\, bpm <125.03\, bpm

STEP 7

Evaluate the comparison.
Since 75.54bpm<125.03bpm75.54\, bpm <125.03\, bpm is true, the pulse rates before they exercised were less than the pulse rates after they ran in place for one minute.
