Find the mean and standard deviation, and verify that the pulse rates have a distribution that is roughly normal.
Explain why the pulse rates have a distribution that is roughly normal. Choose the correct answer below.
A.
The pulse rates have a distribution that is normal because none of the data points are greater than 2 standard deviations from the mean.
B.
The pulse rates have a distribution that is normal because the mean of the data set is equal to the median of the data set.
C.
The pulse rates have a distribution that is normal because none of the data points are negative.
D.
The pulse rates have a distribution that is normal because a histogram of the data set is bell-shaped and symmetric.
Above problem is solved using Minitab, Output of Minitab is attached below
Option D is correct.
D.
The pulse rates have a distribution that is normal because a histogram of the data set is bell-shaped and symmetric.
