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
(Σx)² = (175)²
n = 10
What is the variance and standard deviation of your sample?
