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 data contained in the sheet corresponding to pulse rates in the attached Excel file and - Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for males. - Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for females. - Compare the preceding results. Can we conclude that the population means for males and females are different?

Question

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 data contained in the sheet corresponding to pulse rates in the attached Excel file and
- Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for males.

- Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for females.
- Compare the preceding results. Can we conclude that the population means for males and
females are different? Why or why not?
