Question

Problem 2 (Health Data Measurements) One of the most important measurements related to your cardiovascular health is your heart rate, which is usually reported in beats per minute (BPM). If you go to the doctor, they usually take a single measurement of this quantity. But your heart rate can fluctuate wildly throughout the day as a result of what you eat, stress, adrenaline, etc. In this problem, I would like you to determine the confidenc heart rate. You can do this by placing two fingers on your jugular or wrist (see Figure below) and counting the number of heart beats that occur in 10 seconds, then multiplying that result by 6 I would like you to gather at least 10 measurements of your heart rate. HINT: The best time of the day to measure your heart rate is right when you wake up. This is because your body just came out of a resting state and is unaffected by food or stress. In your homework document, please report all of your measurements, as well as the calculations you performed to determine the confidence interval. Use a confidence level of o.95. Based on your results, should doctor's offices record more than one measurement of your heart rate?
