Create a histogram and box plot for systolic blood pressure

Reference no: EM13997451

Problem 1:

For the first problem in this week's Application Assignment, you will need to refer to the following table of blood pressure data collected at a local blood drive.

Blood Pressure Data

Patient ID	Systolic	Diastolic
1	160	110
2	150	90
3	110	60
4	120	80
5	130	70
6	150	90
7	130	80
8	120	60
9	90	40

Using the data in the preceding table to:

Calculate the mean, median, standard deviation, and variance of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements using the formulas provided in the course text. In your write-up, show the formulas you use to calculate each statistic.
Create a histogram and box plot for systolic blood pressure and a histogram and box plot for diastolic blood pressure.
Scan your completed work into an image file and then insert it into a Word document.
You could also create the histogram and box plot charts with Excel or use the PASS software that came with your text.
You will then need to copy and paste the output from the Excel or PASS software into the Word document with your work for Problem 2.

Problem 2:

Briefly interpret the results from Problem 1. Describe what the numerical summary statistics you calculated signify and what the visual displays suggest.
Do you think the distribution of either systolic or diastolic blood pressure in this sample follows a normal distribution?
Be sure to include Problem 1 in the same document as Problem 2.
