A physician wants to develop criteria for determining whether a patient's pulse rate is atypical, and she wants to determine whether there are significant differences between males and females.
Use the sample pulse rates below:
Male: 96 68 56 88 84 76 72 56 56 56
Female: 84 96 88 84 84 88 60 60 72 124
a) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean pulse rate for males.
b) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean pulse rate for females.
