The five pulse rates have a mean of 70.4 beats per minute. Four of the pulse rates are 83, 75, 91, and 51. a. Find the missing value. b. Suppose that you need to create a list of n values that have a specific known mean. Some of the n values can be freely selected. How many of then values can be freely as beats per minute. a. The missing value is (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type an expression using n as the variable.) O A. Of the n values, can be freely selected because the remaining value(s) must be equal to the known mean. O B. Of then values, can be freely selected because the remaining value(s) can be expressed in terms of the mean, median, and midrange of the assigned values. O C.
