Help On Project For Summer School
Hopefully I'm not asking to much of you guys/girls by asking this 
. I have a project due Wednesday and would like to get some information from yall. I'm suppose to record the name, age, gender and beats per minute of 40 people. I'm going to post the directions below for this first part because I don't think you need the stuff that includes all the calculating I have to do. This is for my online stats course at the community college, decided to take it to get ahead at NC State. Any help would be appreciated. If you don't want to post it here you can always send me a private message. Thanks everyone!
Another name for your pulse rate is heart rate. Your heart rate is the measurement of the number of heart beats per minute.
How the test is performed:
The pulse is measured at the wrist, neck, temple, groin, behind the knees, or on top of the foot. In these areas, the artery passes close to the skin.
To measure the pulse at the wrist, place the index and middle finger over the underside of the opposite wrist, below the base of the thumb. Press firmly with flat fingers until you feel the pulse. To measure the pulse on the neck, place the index and middle finger just to the side of the Adam’s apple, in the soft hollow area. Press firmly until the pulse is located. Once you find the pulse, count the beats for 1 full minute or for 30 seconds and multiply by 2. This will give the beats per minute.
How to prepare for the test:
To determine your resting heart rate, you must have been resting for at least 10 minutes. The exercise heart rate is obtained while you are exercising. For this assignment use the resting heart rate.
How the test will feel:
There is a slight pressure from the fingers.
Your pulse is taken by touching one of several “pulse points” located on your body. These spots are areas where the arteries are near enough to the surface of the skin that the movement of blood through them can be felt. You can actually feel your artery expand and contract. Since the artery keeps pace with the heart, doctors can measure heart rate by counting the contractions of the artery.
Average Pulse Rates:
Adult Males: about 72
Adult Females: 76 to 80
Newborns: up to 140
Children: about 90
Elderly: 50 to 65

There's most of the family... one of the kids is at the pool... Do you need exercising heart rates also? When I am on The X-trainer for about 30 minutes doing a pretty steep program, I am around 165...
