A sample of blood pressure measurements is taken from a data set and those values (mm Hg) are listed below. The values are matched so that subjects each have systolic and diastolic measurements. Find the mean and median for each of the two samples and then compare the two sets of results. Are the measures of center the best statistics to use with these data? What else might be better? Systolic: Diastolic: 107 114 101 149 115 121 104 160 112 1500 88 77 55 61 58 86 66 85 60 82 Find the means. The mean for systolic is 123.3 mm Hg and the mean for diastolic is 71.8 mm Hg. (Type integers or decimals rounded to one decimal place as needed.) Find the medians. The median for systolic is mm Hg and the median for diastolic is mm Hg. (Type integers or decimals rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
