Statistics Coursework - Pulse Rates

Aim ~ The aim of my investigation is to compare pulse rates, body temperature and hours of exercise, from pupils in my school.

"The normal pulse rate for 11 - 16 year olds is 70 - 100 beats per minute."

Hypothesis: ~ Females have faster pulse rates than males because when I researched this, I found that

a female's heart does generally beat faster than males.

~ The older you are, the lower your pulse rate, because according to research, an

increased age means decreasing resting pulse rate and a decreased exercising pulse

rate.

~ The more hours of exercise you do, the slower the pulse rate because research says

regular exercise keeps you fit, therefore your heart doesn't need to work twice as

hard.

~ The year 7's have slower pulse rates because they are forced to stay healthy and eat

healthy. Youngsters are also a lot more active.
