Descriptive Statistics 2
Heart Rate before Exercise
Mean
A mean is a numerical figure that is between the extreme values of a set of numbers
and represents the middle of the collection of data (Hayslett, 2014). Males have an
average heart rate of around 80.39 beats per minute (bpm), while girls have an
average heart rate of about 81.77 bpm.
This implies that, on average, the sample's female participants had somewhat greater
resting heart rates than its male counterparts.
Standard Deviation
For men, the standard deviation is around 7.05 bpm, while for women, it is roughly
6.27 bpm.
The dispersion or spread of data points around the mean is measured by the standard
deviation. Greater data variability is indicated by a larger standard deviation.
Male heart rates in this group fluctuate more widely around the mean than female
heart rates, as shown by the greater standard deviation for men.
Interpretation
Male heart rates range more around their mean than female heart rates, despite the
fact that girls have a somewhat greater mean heart rate than men. This is seen by the
larger standard deviation for males.
This indicates that although the average heart rate of females is somewhat higher,
there is more variation in the heart rates of men, with individuals having heart rates
that are noticeably higher or lower than the average.
Conversely, the heart rates of females are less variable within the group because they
are more tightly grouped around their mean.

Conclusion
In conclusion, male heart rates show more variability, with some guys having much
higher or lower heart rates than the norm, whereas females had somewhat higher average
heart rates.

Heart Rate after Exercise
Mean
After exercise, the mean heart rate for men is around 90.28 beats per minute (bpm),
while the mean heart rate for women is roughly 91.23 bpm.
After exercise, women's average heart rates are somewhat higher than men's, similar
to their resting heart rates.
Standard Deviation
After exercise, the standard deviation for men is around 7.82 bpm while for women it
is roughly 5.91 bpm. The standard deviation, quantifies the degree of dispersion of the
data with respect to the mean. The standard deviation shows how closely grouped the
data are around the mean (Livingston, 2004).
Descriptive Statistics 4
Male heart rates after exercise fluctuate more widely about their mean than female
heart rates, according to the standard deviation, which is larger in men than in women,
again reflecting differences in resting heart rates.
Interpretation
The mean data show that, even after exercise, women's average heart rates are
somewhat higher than men's.
Male heart rates after exercise exhibit more variability, as shown by a larger standard
deviation. This indicates that, in comparison to females, male heart rates are more
widely distributed from their mean.
Female heart rates after exercise, on the other hand, show less variability, with heart
rates clustering closer to the mean, according to a smaller standard deviation.
Overall, male heart rates show more variability, with some guys having much higher
or lower heart rates relative to the mean, whereas female heart rates are more closely
grouped around their mean. Female heart rates are somewhat higher on average after
exercise.
Conclusion
In conclusion, men's heart rates are more variable after exercise, with some people
having more dramatic variations in heart rate. Women, on the other hand, often have slightly
higher average heart rates after exercise.
