Initial
Post Instructions
For this Discussion, you will examine central
tendency and variability in terms of pulse rate.
Find and record the pulse rate of 10 different
people where you work. Tell us a little about the population from which you
drew your data. Describe your findings in terms of central tendency and
variability. Consider using some of the following to help you form your initial
discussion post:
· What are your measures of central
tendency (i.e., mean, median, and mode)? Which might be the better measure for
central tendency and why?
· What is the standard deviation of your
data? How variable are the data (range)?
· Are there any outliers? Investigate
possible reasons for these outliers, and things that might limit them if
further study were to be carried out. What are some variables that should be
considered in discussing your measures of central tendency and variation? Is
there any skewness in your measured data?
· How would you describe this data (i.e.
what insights did you gain from this data)?
