Listed below are pulse rates (beats per minute) from samples of adult males and females. Find the mean and median for each of the two samples and then compare the two sets of results. Does there appear to be a difference?

Male: 96 75 53 94 79 55 62 65 61 91 64 81 60 63 83

Female: 71 73 92 86 90 67 89 76 89 86 69 88 68 83 72

Mean for Male=72.13

Median for male = 65

Mean for Female = 79.93

Median for female = 83

There are differences in the results of mean and median for the males' data compared to the mean and median results calculated from the females' data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean for Male: 96 75 53 94 79 55 62 65 61 91 64 81 60 63 83

X = 96, 75, 53, 94, 79, 55, 62, 65, 61, 91, 64, 81, 60, 63, 83

Total number of value, n=15

Mean is average value, which gives: addition of X, divided by n

Mean = (96+75+53 + 94 + 79 + 55 + 62 + 65 + 61 + 91 + 64 + 81 + 60 + 63 + 83) / 15

Mean = 1082 / 15

Mean=72.13

Median for male: 96 75 53 94 79 55 62 65 61 91 64 81 60 63 83

The values should be rearranged in numerical order to get the middle value

53 55 60 61 62 63 64 65 75 79 81 83 91 94 96

The middle value is the 8th value since there are 15 values

Median = 65

Mean for Female: 71 73 92 86 90 67 89 76 89 86 69 88 68 83 72

X = 71 73 92 86 90 67 89 76 89 86 69 88 68 83 72

Total number of value, n=15

Mean is average value, which gives: addition of X, divided by n

Mean = (71 + 73 + 92 + 86 + 90 + 67 + 89 + 76 + 89 + 86 + 69 + 88 + 68 + 83 + 72) / 15

Mean = 1199 / 15 = 79.93

Median for female: 71 73 92 86 90 67 89 76 89 86 69 88 68 83 72

The values should be rearranged in numerical order to get the middle value: 67 68 69 71 72 73 76 83 86 86 88 89 89 90 92

The middle value is the 8th value since there are 15 values

Median = 83

There are differences in the results of mean and median for the males' data compared to the mean and median results calculated from the females' data.
