The mean resting heart rate for adults is 65 BPM (beats per minute). The standard deviation is 7 BPM. Resting heart rate is approximately nor- mally distributed (bell-shaped). (a) What is the probability of randomly selecting an adult with a resting heart rate greater than 65 BPM? (b) What is the probability of randomly selecting an adult who has resting heart rate less than 58 BPM? (c) What is the probability of randomly selecting an adult who has a heart rate between 60 BPM and 70 BPM? (d) Would you consider it umusual for a person to have a heart rate higher than 84 BPM? Why or why not? (e) Serious athletes often have very low resting hcart rates. How low must a per- son's hear rate be if it is lower than approximately 95% of the population?arrow_forward
