This document contains information from a statistics course, including frequency distribution tables, histograms, and calculations of mean, mode, median, standard deviation, and Pearson's coefficient of skewness for pulse rate data from 40 males and 40 females. The tables show the pulse rate ranges and frequencies for males and females. The histograms indicate that both data sets are right-skewed distributions. Calculations find the mean, mode, median, and standard deviation for each data set. Pearson's coefficient of skewness values greater than 1 indicate that both distributions are positively skewed.
