    Statistics: Test a Claim about a Standard Deviation or Variance in pulse rates

    See attached file. Pulse Rates of Men - A simple random sample of 40 men results in a standard deviation of 11.3 beats per minute (based on data set attached). The normal range of pulse rates of adults is typically given as 60 to 100 beats per minute. If the range rule of thumb is applied to that normal range, the result is a
