In a health study, the resting pulse rates (beats per minute) of a group of adult males were recorded. The recorded pulse rates are given below:

62, 70, 72, 80, 74, 66, 78, 84, 88, 92, 70, 78, 66, 72, 80

(a) Construct a dot plot for the given data.

(b) Is there a pulse rate that appears to be an outlier? What is the outlier’s value?

Accepted Answer

Dot plot showing resting pulse rates of adult males, ranging from 62 to 92 beats per minute, with a potential outlier at 92.
