1) The average resting heart rate for a healthy adult horse in the population is 46 beats per minute, with a standard deviation of 8 beats per minute. A horse whose resting heart rate is in the upper 5% of the distribution may be at risk for a serious illness. If your house has a resting heart rate at 58 beats, would you consider your horse to be at risk? To Answer this CALCULATE the Z score for that heart rate and find the proportion of Z scores above that heart rate.

2) If you had sample data where

Σx² =  3,151

x)² = (175)²

n = 10

What is the variance and standard deviation of your sample?

The average hemoglobin count in healthy adult females is approximately normal, with a population mean of 14. Suppose a female patient had a hemoglobin test each month last year, and the results were: 18        22        20        16        19        14 20        15        19        17        20        18 a.
